Root Explanation

Roundup → The word is formed from "round" (from Old English "rund", meaning circular or spherical) and "up" (meaning to a higher position or level). The term "roundup" refers to the act of gathering or collecting things together in a circular or comprehensive manner.

Memory Tip

Think of gathering things together in a circular way, as 'round' suggests a shape and 'up' indicates bringing them together.
