Root Explanation

Gangrel → The word 'gangrel' originates from Middle English 'gangrel' (meaning a vagabond or a wanderer), which is derived from the Old Norse 'gangr' (meaning a way or a path) combined with the suffix '-el' (a diminutive or a term of endearment). The term originally referred to someone who wanders or roams, often with a connotation of being a vagabond or outcast.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'wandering' ('gangr') along a 'path' — that's why 'gangrel' refers to a wanderer or vagabond.
