Root Explanation

Skylighted → It is formed from "sky" (from Old Norse *ský*, meaning cloud or sky) and "lighted" (from Old English *leohte*, meaning illuminated or made light). The word "skylighted" refers to being illuminated by light coming from the sky, typically through a skylight.

Memory Tip

Imagine light coming from the 'sky' to 'illuminate' a space — that's what 'skylighted' means.
