Root Explanation

The word 'canaller' originates from the French word 'canal' (meaning a waterway) combined with the suffix '-er' (meaning a person who). A canaller is a person who operates or works on a canal, typically involved in the transportation of goods or people via waterways.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who works on a 'canal' — the '-er' indicates a person, so a canaller is someone who operates or is involved with canals.
