Root Explanation

Ramous → It is derived from the Latin word "ramus" (meaning branch). The suffix "-ous" (meaning full of) indicates that something is characterized by or full of branches. Thus, "ramous" describes something that is full of branches or branching in nature.

Memory Tip

Think of a tree with many 'branches' ('ramus') — that's why 'ramous' means full of branches.
