Root Explanation

Framer → It is formed from "frame" (from Old English *framian*, meaning to construct or make) and "-er" (meaning a person who). A framer is a person who constructs or makes something, typically a structure or framework.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'constructs' ('frame') something — the '-er' just means a person. A framer is someone who makes or builds a structure.
