Have you seen that new currency exchanger near the mall?

Yeah, I noticed it while walking by the other day.

I heard they have better rates than the old one.

Root Explanation

Exchanger → It is formed from "ex-" (meaning out of or from) and "changere" (from Old French, meaning to change). The word "exchanger" refers to a person who changes or swaps something, typically in a financial context.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who takes something 'out' ('ex-') and 'changes' it for something else — that's what an exchanger does.
