Root Explanation

Embodier → It is formed from "em-" (meaning to cause to be in) and "body" (from Old French *corps*, meaning physical form). The suffix "-er" indicates a person who performs an action. Thus, an "embodier" is a person who causes something to take physical form or embodies an idea.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'causes' ('em-') an 'idea' to take a 'physical form' ('body'). This helps you remember that an 'embodier' is someone who embodies or represents something in a tangible way.
