Root Explanation

Uplifter → It is formed from "up" (meaning higher or above) and "lift" (from Old English "lyftan", meaning to raise or elevate) and the suffix "-er" (meaning a person who). An uplifter is a person who raises others up or elevates their spirits.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who helps others feel 'higher' or 'better' — 'up' means higher, 'lift' means to raise, and '-er' indicates a person. An uplifter is someone who elevates others.
