Root Explanation

Surfier → The word is derived from "surf" (from the Old English *syrf*, meaning the swell of the sea) and the suffix "-ier" (meaning one who). Thus, "surfier" refers to one who engages in surfing or is more involved in the activity of surfing.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is more involved in the activity of riding the waves — that's what 'surfier' means, as it describes a person who surfs.
