Root Explanation

Ravager → It is formed from "ravage" (from Old French *ravager*, meaning to plunder or devastate) and "-er" (meaning a person who). A ravager is a person who plunders or causes destruction.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'plunders' ('ravage') — the '-er' just means a person. A ravager is someone who causes destruction.
