Root Explanation

Soundstage → It is formed from "sound" (from Old English *sund*, meaning noise or auditory sensation) and "stage" (from Old French *estage*, meaning a platform or level). The word "soundstage" refers to a designated area or platform where sound is produced or recorded, particularly in film and music production.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'platform' ('stage') where 'noise' ('sound') is created or recorded — that's what a soundstage is.
