Root Explanation

Styling is derived from "style" (from Old French *estile*, meaning a manner of doing something) and "-ing" (a suffix used to form present participles or gerunds). The word "styling" refers to the act or process of applying a particular manner or design to something.

Memory Tip

Think of 'style' as a way of doing things, and the '-ing' shows it's an action. So, styling means the action of applying a specific manner or design.
