Root Explanation

Bronzer → The word is formed from "bronze" (from Latin *aes*, meaning a type of metal, specifically a copper alloy) and the suffix "-er" (meaning a person or thing that performs a specified action). A bronzer is a cosmetic product that gives the skin a bronze-like appearance, typically used to enhance or simulate a sun-kissed glow.

Memory Tip

Think of 'bronze' as the metal that gives a warm, sun-kissed color, and remember that a 'bronzer' is something that helps you achieve that bronzed look.
