Root Explanation

Relator → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "latus" (from "ferre", meaning to carry or bear). The word refers to someone who carries or brings back information or a message.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'carries' ('latus') information 'again' ('re-') — that's why a relator is someone who brings back or conveys information.
