The root word of "potential" is "potent," which comes from the Latin word "potentia," meaning power or ability. In this context, "potent" refers to having the capacity or capability to become or develop into something in the future. The addition of the suffix "-ial" changes the word to "potential," indicating the possibility or likelihood of achieving or becoming something.
