Root Explanation

Preciser → It is formed from "pre-" (meaning before) and "cis" (from Latin "caedere", meaning to cut). The word "preciser" refers to someone or something that cuts or defines something more clearly or before others do.

Memory Tip

Think of 'cutting' ('cis') something 'before' ('pre-') to make it clearer — that's why a preciser is someone who makes things more precise.
