Root Explanation

Redeemer → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "emere" (meaning to buy or purchase). The word "redeemer" refers to one who buys back or rescues, particularly in a spiritual or religious context.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'buys back' ('emere') something 'again' ('re-') — that's why a redeemer is someone who rescues or saves.
