Root Explanation

Inserter → It is formed from "in-" (meaning into) and "serere" (meaning to join or connect). The word "inserter" refers to someone or something that joins or connects something into another thing.

Memory Tip

Think of 'putting something into' ('in-') to 'join' ('serere') it with something else — that's what an inserter does.
