Root Explanation

Bodyworker is formed from "body" (from Old English "bodig", meaning the physical structure of a person or animal) and "worker" (from Old English "weorc", meaning a person who performs a task or labor). The term refers to a person who works on the body, typically in a therapeutic or healing context.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'works' ('worker') on the 'body' — that's why a bodyworker is someone who helps with physical well-being.
