Root Explanation

Voiceprint → It is formed from "voice" (from Old French *vois*, meaning sound produced by humans) and "print" (from Old English *pryntan*, meaning to press or mark). The word "voiceprint" refers to a unique mark or pattern made by the sound of a person's voice.

Memory Tip

Think of the sound produced by a person's 'voice' and how it leaves a unique 'mark' or 'print' — that's what a voiceprint is.
