Root Explanation

Syndicate → It is formed from "syn-" (meaning together) and "dikat" (from Greek "dike", meaning justice or right). The word describes a group that comes together for a common purpose, often in a legal or business context.

Memory Tip

Think of people coming 'together' ('syn-') to pursue a 'just' cause ('dike'). This helps you remember that a syndicate is a group working together for a common goal.
