Root Explanation

**Tailored** → It originates from the verb 'tailor' (from Old French *taillour*, meaning to cut or shape) and the suffix '-ed' (indicating a past action or condition). The word 'tailored' means something that has been cut or shaped to fit a specific person or purpose.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'tailor' who 'cuts' and 'shapes' fabric to create a perfect fit — that's why 'tailored' means something made to fit well.
