Root Explanation

Recording → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "cord" (from Latin "cor" meaning heart) and the suffix "-ing" (indicating the action or process). The word "recording" means the action of capturing or storing something again, as if putting it back into the heart or essence of the moment.

Memory Tip

Think of 're-' meaning again and 'cord' relating to the heart — recording is like putting something back into the heart of memory.
