Root Explanation

Vinedresser → It is formed from "vine" (from Latin "vinea", meaning a vine or vineyard) and "dresser" (from Old French "drescer", meaning to dress or to tend). A vinedresser is someone who tends to or cultivates vines, particularly in a vineyard.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'tends' ('dresser') to 'vines' — that's why a vinedresser is a person who takes care of grapevines.
