Root Explanation

Spacing → It is formed from "space" (from Latin *spatium*, meaning room or extent) and "-ing" (a suffix used to form nouns indicating an action or process). The word "spacing" refers to the process of creating or maintaining space between objects or elements.

Memory Tip

Think of 'space' as the area or room between things, and '-ing' indicates the action of creating that space. This helps you remember that spacing is about the act of arranging space.
