Root Explanation

Thaumaturgist → It is formed from "thauma" (from Greek "θαῦμα", meaning miracle or wonder) and "ergon" (from Greek "ἔργον", meaning work). A thaumaturgist is someone who works wonders or performs miracles.

Memory Tip

Imagine someone who 'works' ('ergon') to create 'wonders' ('thauma') — that's why a thaumaturgist is a miracle worker.
