Root Explanation

Moderner → The word 'moderner' is derived from 'modern' (from Latin 'modernus', meaning of the present time) and the suffix '-er' (meaning a person who). Thus, 'moderner' refers to a person who embodies or represents modernity or contemporary characteristics.

Memory Tip

Think of 'modern' as relating to the present time, and the '-er' indicates a person. So, a moderner is someone who is a person of the present.
