Root Explanation

Cameleer → The word 'cameleer' is derived from 'camel' (from Latin 'camelus', meaning a large, domesticated animal used for transport) and the suffix '-eer' (meaning a person who). Thus, a cameleer is a person who handles or works with camels, particularly in transporting goods or people.

Memory Tip

Think of a person who works with camels ('camel') and the '-eer' suffix indicating a person. This helps you remember that a cameleer is someone who handles camels.
