Root Explanation

Woodbind → The word is formed from "wood" (from Old English *wudu*, meaning the material from trees) and "bind" (from Old English *bindan*, meaning to tie or fasten). The term "woodbind" refers to the act of tying or fastening something with wood or using wood as a binding material.

Memory Tip

Think of 'wood' as the material from trees and 'bind' as tying something together — that's how 'woodbind' means to tie or fasten with wood.
