Have you heard about that new app?

Yeah, I heard it's a real moneymaker for developers.

Root Explanation

Moneymaker → It is formed from "money" (from Old French *moneie*, meaning currency or wealth) and "maker" (from Old English *macian*, meaning to make or create). The word "moneymaker" refers to something or someone that creates or generates money.

Memory Tip

Think of someone or something that 'creates' ('maker') 'currency' ('money') — that's why a moneymaker is something that generates wealth.
