Root Explanation

Forester → It is formed from "forest" (from Old French *forest*, meaning a wooded area) and "-er" (meaning a person who). A forester is a person who works in or manages a forest.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who works in a 'wooded area' ('forest') — the '-er' just means a person. A forester is someone who takes care of the forest.
