Did you hear about the new puppy they got?

Yeah, I heard they’re still looking for a good namer for it.

Root Explanation

Namer → The word is formed from "name" (from Old English *nama*, meaning a word by which a person or thing is known) and "-er" (meaning a person who). A namer is a person who gives a name or identifies something by a name.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who gives a 'name' — that's what a 'namer' does, and the '-er' just means a person.
