Root Explanation
Salutiferous → It is formed from "salutis" (from Latin, meaning health) and "ferre" (meaning to bear or carry). The word "salutiferous" means bearing or bringing health.
Memory Tip
Think of 'salutis' which relates to health and 'ferre' which means to carry — so salutiferous describes something that brings health.
