Root Explanation

Regularity → It is formed from "regula" (meaning rule or standard) and the suffix "-ity" (meaning the state or quality of). The word "regularity" refers to the state of being in accordance with a rule or standard, indicating consistency or uniformity.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'rule' ('regula') that helps maintain a certain 'quality' ('-ity') — that's why regularity means the quality of being consistent or following a rule.
