Root Explanation

Remoter → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again or back) and "mote" (from Old French *mouvoir*, meaning to move). The suffix "-er" indicates a comparative form. Thus, "remoter" refers to something that is further away or more distant than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of 'moving back' ('re-') to remember that 'remoter' means something that is further away.
