Root Explanation

Vanquisher → It is formed from "vanquish" (from Old French *vanquir*, meaning to defeat or overcome) and "-er" (meaning a person who). A vanquisher is a person who defeats or overcomes an opponent.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'defeats' ('vanquish') others — the '-er' just means a person. A vanquisher is someone who overcomes others.
