Root Explanation

Perfecto → It is derived from 'perfectus' (meaning completed or finished), which comes from 'per-' (meaning through) and 'facere' (meaning to do or make). The word 'perfecto' conveys the idea of something that has been made completely or thoroughly.

Memory Tip

Think of something that has been 'made' ('facere') 'through' ('per-') to its fullest extent — that's why 'perfecto' means something that is complete or flawless.
