Root Explanation

Electioneerer → It is formed from "election" (from Latin "electio", meaning choice or selection) and "-eer" (a suffix used to denote a person associated with a specific action). The word "electioneerer" refers to a person who actively engages in the process of campaigning for an election.

Memory Tip

Think of someone involved in the process of making a 'choice' ('electio') — the '-eer' indicates a person who does this action, so an electioneerer is someone who campaigns for a choice.
