Root Explanation

Promoter → It is formed from "pro-" (meaning for or in favor of) and "movere" (meaning to move). The word refers to someone who moves or supports something forward, often in a promotional context.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'for' ('pro-') something and helps to 'move' ('movere') it forward — that's why a promoter is someone who supports or advances an idea or event.
