Root Explanation

Wanderer → It is formed from "wander" (from Old English *wandrian*, meaning to move about or roam) and "-er" (meaning a person who). A wanderer is a person who roams or moves about without a fixed destination.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'moving about' ('wander') — the '-er' just means a person. A wanderer is someone who roams freely.
