Root Explanation

Soundtrack → It is formed from "sound" (from Old English "sund", meaning noise or auditory sensation) and "track" (from Old French "trac", meaning a path or course). The word "soundtrack" refers to the audio component that accompanies a film or media, essentially the path of sounds that guide the viewer's experience.

Memory Tip

Think of 'sound' as the noise you hear and 'track' as the path it follows — a soundtrack is the path of sounds that enhances a movie or show.
