Root Explanation

Ultrasoft is formed from "ultra-" (meaning beyond or extremely) and "soft" (from Old English "softe", meaning not hard or yielding easily). The word "ultrasoft" describes something that is extremely soft or softer than usual.

Memory Tip

Think of 'beyond' ('ultra-') when you picture something that is 'extremely soft' — that's what ultrasoft means.
