Root Explanation

Chaster is derived from the word "chaste" (from Latin "castus", meaning pure or unblemished) and the suffix "-er" (meaning one who). The term "chaster" refers to one who is more chaste or pure than another.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'more pure' ('chaste') — the '-er' indicates that they are one who possesses that quality to a greater degree.
