Root Explanation

Sticker → The word 'sticker' is derived from the verb 'stick' (from Old English 'stician', meaning to pierce or attach) combined with the suffix '-er' (meaning a person or thing that performs an action). A sticker is something that sticks or adheres to a surface.

Memory Tip

Think of something that 'attaches' ('stick') to a surface, and the '-er' indicates that it is the thing that does the sticking.
