Root Explanation

Relevancy → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "levare" (meaning to lift or raise). The word refers to the quality of being lifted up or brought back into consideration, thus indicating its importance or significance in a given context.

Memory Tip

Think of something being 'lifted up again' — 're-' means again, and 'levare' means to lift. This helps you remember that relevancy refers to something that is important or significant in a particular situation.
