Root Explanation

Tablet is derived from the Old French 'tablete' (meaning a small table or flat surface), which in turn comes from the Latin 'tabula' (meaning a board or plank). The suffix '-ing' indicates the action or process of making or using tablets. Therefore, 'tabletting' refers to the process of making or using tablets.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'small board' ('tabula') that is being used or made into tablets — that's what 'tabletting' means.
