Root Explanation

Normalizer → It is formed from "normal" (from Latin "normalis", meaning conforming to a standard) and "-izer" (a suffix used to indicate a person or thing that performs a specified action). The word "normalizer" refers to something that makes or brings something into a standard or normal state.

Memory Tip

Think of something that brings things back to a 'standard' ('normal') — the '-izer' means it performs that action, so a normalizer is something that makes things normal.
