Root Explanation

Adjurer → It is formed from "ad-" (meaning to) and "jurare" (meaning to swear). The word "adjurer" means to solemnly urge or request someone to swear or take an oath.

Memory Tip

Think of someone 'urging' ('ad-') another to 'swear' ('jurare') — that's why adjurer means to strongly request someone to take an oath.
