Root Explanation
Rejecter → It is formed from "re-" (meaning back or again) and "jacere" (meaning to throw). The word "rejecter" refers to someone who throws something back or refuses it.
Memory Tip
Think of someone who 'throws back' ('re-') something that is offered to them — that's why a rejecter is someone who refuses or dismisses something.
