Root Explanation

Acclimatizer → It is formed from "ac-" (a variant of "ad-", meaning to) and "clima" (from Latin "clima", meaning climate) and "-tizer" (a suffix indicating a person or thing that causes an action). The word refers to a person or thing that helps someone adjust to a new climate or environment.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who helps you adjust to a new 'climate' ('clima') — the 'ac-' means to, and the '-tizer' indicates a person or thing that facilitates this adjustment.
