Root Explanation

Remanence → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "manere" (meaning to remain). The word describes the state of remaining again or the persistence of a property after the cause has been removed.

Memory Tip

Think of something that 'remains again' — 're-' means again, and 'manere' means to stay. This helps you remember that remanence refers to the persistence of something.
