Root Explanation

Regimented → It is formed from "regimen" (from Latin *regimen*, meaning a rule or management) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a state or condition). The word "regimented" means being in a state of being controlled or organized according to a set rule or management.

Memory Tip

Think of 'regimen' as a set of rules or management that organizes things, and the '-ed' shows that something is in that organized state. This helps you remember that 'regimented' means being organized or controlled by rules.
