Etymology of EXOFFICIAL

The word "exofficial" is formed by combining two Latin roots: "ex" and "officialis".

1. "Ex" is a Latin preposition meaning "out of" or "from". It indicates being removed or separated from a particular status or position.

2. "Officialis" is derived from the Latin word "officium", which means "duty", "service", or "office". "Officium" itself is a combination of "opus" (work) and "facere" (to do).

When the two roots are combined, "exofficial" is formed, suggesting someone or something that has been removed or separated from an official duty, office, or position.
