Root Explanation

Suncare → It is formed from "sun" (from Old English *sunne*, meaning the star that provides light and warmth) and "care" (from Old English *caru*, meaning concern or attention). The word "suncare" refers to the act of taking care of one's skin from the sun's harmful effects.

Memory Tip

Think of the 'sun' as the source of light and warmth, and 'care' as the attention you give to protect your skin from it. This helps you remember that suncare means taking care of your skin from the sun.
