Did you know that there are people who work as an inseminator for livestock?

Root Explanation

Inseminator → It is formed from "in-" (meaning into) and "seminare" (meaning to sow or seed). The word refers to someone who sows or introduces seeds into something, particularly in a biological context.

Memory Tip

Think of someone 'sowing' ('seminare') seeds 'into' ('in-') something — that's why inseminator means a person who introduces seeds.
