Root Explanation

Preciseness → It is formed from "precisus" (from Latin, meaning cut off or trimmed) and the suffix "-ness" (meaning the state or quality of). The word "preciseness" refers to the quality of being exact or clearly defined, as if something has been carefully cut to fit a specific standard.

Memory Tip

Think of something that has been 'cut off' or 'trimmed' to be exact — that's what 'preciseness' means, the quality of being exact.
