Root Explanation

Intern is derived from the Latin "internus" (meaning internal or within) and the suffix "-er" (meaning a person who). The word refers to a person who works within an organization, often as a trainee or apprentice.

Memory Tip

Think of someone working 'within' ('internus') an organization — that's why an intern is a person who works inside a company.
