Root Explanation

Keyboarder → It is formed from "key" (from Old English *cæg*, meaning a device for opening) and "board" (from Old English *bord*, meaning a flat surface) combined with the suffix "-er" (meaning a person who). A keyboarder is a person who uses a keyboard, typically for typing or playing music.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'key' that opens things and a 'board' as a flat surface where you press those keys — that's how a keyboarder interacts with a keyboard.
