Root Explanation

Tipsheet → The word is formed from "tip" (from Old English *tipa*, meaning the end or point of something) and "sheet" (from Old English *sceat*, meaning a piece of paper or a flat surface). A tipsheet is essentially a flat piece of paper that provides tips or information, combining the idea of a pointed or helpful end with a sheet of material.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'tip' as a helpful point of advice and a 'sheet' as a flat piece of paper — together, they create a tipsheet, which is a helpful piece of paper with advice.
