Same family: vision, visualize, visualization, visuality, visuals. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Visual” comes from the Latin word “visualis,” meaning “of sight,” which is based on “videre,” meaning “to see.” It’s related to other seeing words like “vision,” “video,” and even “evident” (something you can clearly see).
