Root Explanation

Deflowerer → It is formed from "de-" (meaning down or away) and "flower" (from Old French *flor*, meaning blossom or bloom) and the suffix "-er" (meaning one who). The word "deflowerer" refers to one who takes away the bloom or purity, often used in a metaphorical sense regarding virginity.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who takes away the 'bloom' or 'purity' ('flower') — that's why a deflowerer is someone who removes that innocence.
