Root Explanation

Niched → The word 'niched' comes from 'niche' (from Old French *niche*, meaning a recess or a place for something) and the suffix '-ed' (indicating a past action or state). The term 'niched' refers to being placed in a specific position or role, often within a specialized context.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'niche' as a special 'place' for something, and when something is 'niched', it means it has been placed in that specific spot.
