Conversation

I read about this cool device called an exciter that helps generators work better.

That sounds interesting! How does it actually work?

It basically provides the necessary current to keep the main generator running smoothly.

Wow, I never knew that! It's amazing how much technology goes into energy production.

Root Explanation

Exciter → It is formed from "ex-" (meaning out) and "citare" (meaning to call or summon). The word "exciter" refers to something that calls or brings out energy or activity.

Memory Tip

Think of something that 'calls out' ('ex-') energy or activity ('citare') — that's why an exciter is something that stimulates or energizes.
