Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Tramper → The word 'tramper' originates from the Middle English 'trampe' (meaning to walk heavily or tread), which is derived from the Old English 'trampian' (meaning to stomp or tread). The suffix '-er' indicates a person who performs the action. Thus, a tramper is a person who walks heavily or treads along a path.

Memory Tip

Imagine someone who 'treads heavily' — that's what a tramper does, and the '-er' just means a person who performs that action.
