Root Explanation

Coacher is derived from the word 'coach' (from Old French *coche*, meaning a large, horse-drawn vehicle) and the suffix '-er' (meaning a person who). A coacher is a person who drives or operates a coach, or metaphorically, someone who trains or instructs others.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'coach' as a person who guides or trains others, and the '-er' indicates that this person is actively involved in that role.
