Root Explanation

Scroller → The word is formed from "scroll" (from Old French *escrol*, meaning a roll or scroll of parchment) and "-er" (meaning a person who). A scroller is a person or device that scrolls through content, typically on a screen.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'scroll' as a roll of paper that you can move through, and the '-er' indicates a person or thing that does this action. So, a scroller is someone or something that moves through content like a scroll.
