Root Explanation

Undersigned → It is formed from "under-" (meaning beneath or below) and "signed" (from the Latin "signare", meaning to mark or sign). The word refers to those who have signed a document, indicating their agreement or acknowledgment, typically placed beneath the text.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who has 'marked' ('signare') their agreement 'beneath' ('under-') a document — that's why undersigned refers to those who have signed below.
