Root Explanation

Requester → It is formed from "request" (from Old French *requeste*, meaning a formal demand or appeal) and "-er" (meaning a person who). A requester is a person who makes a request or asks for something.

Memory Tip

Think of someone making a 'formal demand' ('request') — the '-er' just means a person. A requester is someone who asks for something.
