Root Explanation

Behaver → It is formed from "be-" (meaning to be or to have) and "have" (meaning to possess or hold). The word "behaver" refers to someone who possesses or exhibits a certain behavior.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'has' ('have') a certain way of 'being' ('be-') — that's why a behaver is someone who shows a particular behavior.
