Root Explanation

Roomette → The word is formed from "room" (from Old English *rum*, meaning space or area) and the diminutive suffix "-ette" (from French, meaning small or little). A roomette refers to a small room or a compact space.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'room' as a space and '-ette' as a way to say it's a small version of that space. So, a roomette is a little room.
