Root Explanation

The word 'sandshoe' is formed from 'sand' (from Old English 'sand', meaning granular material found on beaches and deserts) and 'shoe' (from Old English 'sceo', meaning a covering for the foot). A sandshoe refers to a type of footwear designed for use on sandy surfaces, typically associated with beach activities.

Memory Tip

Think of 'sand' as the material found on beaches and 'shoe' as something you wear on your feet. A sandshoe is specifically designed for walking on sand.
