Root Explanation

Tiler → The word 'tiler' is derived from 'tile' (from Old English 'tigele', meaning a small, flat piece of material used for covering roofs or floors) and '-er' (meaning a person who). A tiler is a person who works with tiles, typically laying them for construction or decoration.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'tile' as a flat piece used in building, and the '-er' indicates a person. So, a tiler is someone who works with tiles.
