Root Explanation

Popularizer → It is formed from "popular" (from Latin *popularis*, meaning of the people) and "-izer" (a suffix used to indicate a person or thing that performs a specified action). The word "popularizer" refers to a person who makes something well-known or accessible to the general public.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who makes ideas or things more 'of the people' ('popular') — the '-izer' means they are the one doing that action.
