Root Explanation

Dieter → The word 'dieter' is formed from 'diet' (from Old French *diete*, meaning a way of life or regimen) and '-er' (meaning a person who). A dieter is a person who follows a specific regimen or way of eating, often for health or weight management purposes.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who follows a specific 'regimen' ('diet') — the '-er' just means a person. A dieter is someone who is focused on their eating habits.
