Root Explanation

Orchestrate → It is formed from "orchestra" (from Greek "orkhestra", meaning a place for dancing) and "-ate" (a suffix used to form verbs). The word "orchestrate" means to arrange or direct a complex set of elements, much like arranging music in an orchestra.

Memory Tip

Think of an 'orchestra' where musicians are arranged to play together, and the '-ate' means to make or do. This helps you remember that to orchestrate means to arrange or coordinate elements harmoniously.
