Root Explanation

Rapporteur → It is formed from "rapport" (from French, meaning relationship or connection) and "-eur" (a suffix used in French to denote a person who performs a specific action). A rapporteur is a person who reports or conveys information, particularly in a formal context.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'rapport' as a connection or relationship, and the '-eur' means a person who does something. So, a rapporteur is someone who conveys or reports on that connection.
