Root Explanation

**Tapper** → The word 'tapper' is derived from 'tap' (from Old English *tæppa*, meaning to strike or hit) and the suffix '-er' (meaning a person who). A tapper is a person who strikes or hits, often used in the context of tapping a keg or a similar action.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'strikes' or 'hits' something — that's what a tapper does, and the '-er' just means a person who performs that action.
