Root Explanation

Absoluter → It is formed from "absolutus" (from Latin, meaning free or set free) and "-er" (meaning a person who). The word "absoluter" refers to a person who is free or has absolute power.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'set free' ('absolutus') and is a 'person' ('-er') — that's why an absoluter is someone who has complete freedom or power.
