Root Explanation

The word 'park' originates from Old French 'parc' (meaning an enclosed area) and is derived from Latin 'parricus' (meaning an enclosed space for animals). A park is thus an enclosed area, often for recreation or the preservation of nature.

Memory Tip

Imagine an 'enclosed area' where people can enjoy nature and recreation — that's what a park is.
