Root Explanation

Scene → It originates from the Latin word 'scaena' (meaning stage or scene), which in turn comes from the Greek 'skēnē' (meaning tent or stage). The word 'scene' refers to a place where an event occurs, particularly in a theatrical context.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'stage' ('scaena') where events unfold — that's why a scene is a specific place where something happens.
