Root Explanation

Balancer → It is formed from "balance" (from Old French *balance*, meaning a scale or equilibrium) and "-er" (meaning a person who). A balancer is a person or thing that maintains balance or equilibrium.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who helps keep things in 'equilibrium' ('balance') — the '-er' just means a person. A balancer is someone who maintains balance.
