Root Explanation

**Procurer** → It is formed from "pro-" (meaning for or in favor of) and "curare" (meaning to care for or to take care of). The word "procurer" refers to someone who takes care of or arranges something on behalf of another, often in a legal or formal context.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who acts 'for' ('pro-') another person to 'care for' ('curare') their needs or interests — that's what a procurer does.
