Root Explanation

**Urbaner** → It is formed from "urban" (from Latin *urbanus*, meaning of or pertaining to a city) and "-er" (meaning a person who). The word "urbaner" refers to a person who is associated with or lives in a city.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'of the city' ('urban') — the '-er' just means a person. An urbaner is someone who belongs to or lives in an urban area.
