Root Explanation
**Tinted** → It is formed from "tint" (from Latin *tinctus*, meaning to dye or color) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a past action or state). The word "tinted" means having been colored or dyed in some way.
Memory Tip
Think of 'tint' as adding color to something, and the '-ed' shows that it has already been colored. This helps you remember that 'tinted' means something that has been given a color.
