Root Explanation

Knower → It is formed from "know" (from Old English "cnāwan", meaning to perceive or understand) and "-er" (meaning a person who). A knower is a person who knows or has knowledge.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'perceives' or 'understands' ('know') — and the '-er' just means a person. A knower is someone who has knowledge.
