Question

the root fic or fac means do or make. what does the word facilitate mean? to observe a legal proceeding to occur in chronological order to cause something to be more efficient

Explanation:

The root "fac" means "do or make". "Facilitate" is formed from this root. When we consider the meaning of the root and common word - building patterns, "facilitate" implies an action related to making something happen more smoothly. "To cause something to be more efficient" aligns with the idea of making (as per the root) a process better. "To observe a legal proceeding" has no connection to the root meaning. "To occur in chronological order" is about time - order and not related to the "do/make" root.

Answer:

to cause something to be more efficient
