Root Explanation

**Nobler** → It is formed from "noble" (from Old French *noble*, meaning high-born or of good family) and the comparative suffix "-er" (meaning more). The word "nobler" means more noble or possessing greater nobility.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'of good family' ('noble') and then imagine them being 'more' ('-er') distinguished or virtuous. This helps you remember that 'nobler' means possessing greater nobility.
