Root Explanation

Skateboarder → It is formed from "skate" (from the Middle Dutch *schate*, meaning to glide or slide) and "board" (from Old English *bord*, meaning a flat piece of wood or plank) combined with the suffix "-er" (meaning a person who). A skateboarder is a person who glides or slides on a board.

Memory Tip

Imagine someone gliding smoothly on a flat piece of wood — that's what a skateboarder does, combining the action of skating with the board they ride.
