Root Explanation

Parameterize → It is formed from "para-" (meaning alongside or beyond) and "metron" (meaning measure). The word refers to the act of defining or measuring alongside certain parameters or criteria.

Memory Tip

Think of defining or measuring things 'alongside' ('para-') specific 'measures' ('metron') — that's what parameterize means.
