Root Explanation

Transposable → It is formed from "trans-" (meaning across) and "ponere" (meaning to place). The word "transposable" means capable of being placed across or rearranged.

Memory Tip

Think of placing things 'across' ('trans-') in different positions ('ponere') — that's why transposable means something that can be rearranged.
