Root Explanation

Skywalk → It is formed from "sky" (from Old Norse *ský*, meaning cloud or sky) and "walk" (from Old English *wealcan*, meaning to move or walk). The word "skywalk" refers to a pathway or bridge that allows people to walk above ground level, often connecting buildings or structures.

Memory Tip

Imagine walking in the clouds ('sky') on a pathway ('walk') above the ground — that's what a skywalk is.
