Root Explanation

Logger → The word 'logger' originates from the term 'log' (from Old English 'logg', meaning a fallen tree or a piece of wood) combined with the suffix '-er' (meaning a person who). A logger is a person who works with logs, typically in the context of cutting down trees and processing timber.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who works with 'logs' — the '-er' just means a person. A logger is someone who handles logs.
