Root Explanation
Quantified → It is formed from "quantus" (meaning how much) and the suffix "-fy" (meaning to make). The word "quantified" means to make something measurable or to express it in terms of quantity.
Memory Tip
Think of 'how much' ('quantus') being 'made' ('-fy') measurable — that's why quantified means to express something in terms of quantity.
