Root Explanation

Showroom → It is formed from "show" (from Old English "sceawian", meaning to look at or to see) and "room" (from Old English "rum", meaning space or area). A showroom is a space designed for displaying items for viewing or inspection.

Memory Tip

Think of a place where you 'look at' ('show') things in a designated 'space' ('room') — that's what a showroom is.
