Root Explanation

Segmentary → It is formed from "segment" (from Latin "segmentum", meaning a piece or section) and the suffix "-ary" (meaning pertaining to or connected with). The word "segmentary" refers to something that is related to or composed of segments or sections.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'segment' as a 'piece' and '-ary' meaning 'related to' — so segmentary describes something that is made up of pieces.
