Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Destroy, construct का उल्टा है; 'de' बनाने की process को उलट देता है। जिस चीज़ का structure हो, destroy उसे ऐसे तोड़ता है कि वो रहे ही नहीं। Noun destruction में वही 'struct' है जो structure और construction में।

Destroy is the reverse of construct: 'de' turns the building process upside down. Whatever has a structure, destroy breaks it so that it no longer exists or works. The noun destruction shows the same 'struct' you see in structure and construction.
