Root Explanation

Abler → It is formed from "able" (from Old French *able*, meaning capable or competent) and "-er" (meaning a person who). The word "abler" refers to a person who is more capable or competent than another.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'capable' ('able') and the '-er' indicating a person. So, an 'abler' is someone who is more capable.
