Root Explanation

Begetter → It is formed from "be-" (meaning to cause to be or to make) and "getter" (from the verb "get", meaning to obtain or bring into existence). The word "begetter" refers to one who causes something to come into being or existence, often used in the context of parentage or creation.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'causes to be' ('be-') and 'brings into existence' ('getter') — that's why a begetter is someone who brings forth or creates.
