Root Explanation

Multiunit → It is formed from "multi-" (meaning many) and "unit" (from Latin "unitas", meaning one or a single entity). The word "multiunit" refers to something that consists of many individual units or components.

Memory Tip

Think of 'many' ('multi-') combined with 'one' ('unit') — that's why multiunit means made up of many individual parts.
