Root Explanation

Giver → It is formed from "give" (from Old English "giefan", meaning to hand over or grant) and "-er" (meaning a person who). A giver is a person who hands over or grants something to another.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'hands over' ('give') something — the '-er' just means a person. A giver is someone who gives.
