Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Realer → It is formed from "real" (from Latin "realis", meaning actual or true) and the suffix "-er" (meaning one who or that which). The word "realer" means more real or more true than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of 'real' as something that is true or actual, and the '-er' indicates a comparison, so 'realer' means something that is more true.
