Root Breakdown
Root-derivedmove is the root mov (Latin movēre, 'to move') in its barest form — to shift something from one place to another. From the physical sense English built the emotional one: to move someone is to shift their feelings. And from 'changing position' came 'taking action' — a move in chess, a career move, a smart move.
