Manifestant → It is formed from "manifeste" (from Latin "manifestus", meaning clear or obvious) and "-ant" (a suffix used to indicate an agent or doer). The word "manifestant" refers to someone who makes something clear or obvious, often in a demonstrative manner.
Think of someone making something 'clear' ('manifestus') and being an 'agent' ('-ant') of that clarity. This helps you remember that a manifestant is someone who demonstrates or makes something evident.
