Root Explanation

Splicing → It is formed from "splice" (from Old French *espliquer*, meaning to interweave or join) and the suffix "-ing" (indicating the action or process). The word "splicing" refers to the action of joining or interweaving two or more things together, typically in the context of ropes or film.

Memory Tip

Think of the action of 'joining' ('splice') things together, and the '-ing' shows that it's happening right now. This helps you remember that 'splicing' means the process of joining things.
