Root Explanation

Deviser → It is formed from "de-" (meaning down or away) and "visere" (meaning to see or look). The word refers to someone who looks down or considers ideas, thus creating plans or inventions.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'looks down' ('de-') to 'see' ('visere') new ideas — that's why a deviser is someone who creates plans.
