Root Explanation

Consultor → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "sultor" (from "salire", meaning to leap or jump). The word refers to someone who leaps together with another in advice or guidance, hence a consultant or advisor.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'leaps together' ('con-' means together and 'sultor' relates to jumping) to provide advice — that's what a consultant does.
