Root Explanation

Disliker → It is formed from "dis-" (meaning apart or not) and "like" (from Old English "lician", meaning to please or be agreeable) with the suffix "-er" (meaning a person who). The word "disliker" refers to a person who does not find something pleasing or agreeable.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who feels 'not' ('dis-') pleased or agreeable ('like') — that's why a disliker is someone who does not like something.
