Root Explanation

Culler → The word 'culler' is derived from the verb 'to cull', which comes from the Middle English 'cullen' (meaning to select or gather) and is related to the Old French 'culer' (meaning to push or to move). The suffix '-er' indicates a person who performs the action. Thus, a 'culler' is a person who selects or gathers items, often from a larger group.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'gathers' ('cullen') items and is identified as a person doing that ('-er'). This helps you remember that a culler is someone who selects or picks out items.
