Root Explanation

This word originates from the combination of 'plasma' (from Greek 'plasma', meaning something molded or formed) and 'sol' (from Latin 'sol', meaning sun or light). The term 'plasmasol' refers to a state or solution that is influenced by plasma, often in a context related to light or energy.

Memory Tip

Think of 'plasma' as something that is 'molded' and 'sol' as 'light' or 'sun' — together, they help you remember that 'plasmasol' relates to a solution influenced by energy or light.
