Root Explanation

Releaser → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "leas" (from Old English *leasian*, meaning to let go or release) and "-er" (meaning a person who). The word "releaser" refers to a person who lets go or frees something again.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'letting go' ('leas') of something 'again' ('re-') — that's why a releaser is a person who frees or lets go.
