Root Explanation

Clearer → It is formed from "clear" (from Old English "cleare", meaning free from darkness or cloudiness) and "-er" (meaning one who or that which). The word "clearer" means one that makes something more free from obscurity or confusion.

Memory Tip

Think of something that makes things 'free from darkness' ('clear') and adds 'one who' ('-er') to show it enhances clarity.
