Root Explanation

**Tribesman** → It is formed from "tribe" (from Latin *tribus*, meaning a division of people or a clan) and "-sman" (from Old English *man*, meaning a person). A tribesman is a person belonging to a specific tribe or clan.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'tribe' as a group of people connected by common culture or ancestry, and '-sman' simply means a person. This helps you remember that a tribesman is someone who is part of a specific group.
