Root Explanation

Transpicuous → It is formed from "trans-" (meaning across) and "spicere" (meaning to look or see). The word describes something that can be seen through or is clear, as if looking across it.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is clear and can be 'seen through' — 'trans-' means across, and 'spicere' means to look.
