Root Explanation
Securement → It is formed from "secure" (from Latin "securus", meaning free from care or safe) and "-ment" (a suffix used to form nouns indicating an action or resulting state). The word "securement" refers to the act or process of making something secure or safe.
Memory Tip
Think of 'secure' meaning safe and 'ment' indicating a process — so securement is the process of making something safe.
