Root Explanation

Depicter → It is formed from "de-" (meaning down or away) and "picere" (meaning to paint or to depict). The word describes someone who paints or represents something, often in a detailed manner.

Memory Tip

Think of someone 'painting down' or 'away' ('de-') a scene or image ('picere') — that's why a depicter is someone who creates a visual representation.
