Root Explanation

Seafront → It is formed from "sea" (from Old English "sǣ", meaning large body of saltwater) and "front" (from Old French "front", meaning forehead or front part). The word "seafront" refers to the front part or area that faces the sea.

Memory Tip

Picture a place that is at the 'front' of the 'sea' — that's what a seafront is, an area facing the ocean.
