Root Explanation

Farer → The word 'farer' is derived from 'far' (from Old English 'fǣr', meaning journey or travel) and the suffix '-er' (meaning a person who). Thus, a farer is a person who travels or journeys a long distance.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who goes on a 'journey' ('far') — the '-er' indicates that this person is the one traveling.
