💡 Memory Trick: Think of "CAR PRICE" – Imagine you're trying to buy a car, and the "CAR PRICE" (sounds like CAPRICE, the root of CAPRICIOUS) keeps changing wildly and unpredictably. One day it's affordable, the next it's sky-high, then suddenly drops again, all on a whim, with no logical reason. This constant, sudden change perfectly describes something CAPRICIOUS – impulsive and unpredictable.
