Root Explanation

Style → It originates from the Latin word 'stilus' (meaning a writing instrument or style of writing), which referred to a pointed tool used for writing on wax tablets. The word 'style' has come to mean a particular manner or way of doing something, especially in art or fashion.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'writing instrument' ('stilus') that helps create a specific 'manner' or 'way' of expression — that's why style refers to a distinctive way of doing things.
