Root Explanation

Warmer → It is formed from "warm" (from Old English *wearm*, meaning having a moderate degree of heat) and "-er" (meaning a person or thing that performs a specified action). The word "warmer" refers to something that makes or is more warm than another.

Memory Tip

Think of something that makes you feel 'more warm' — the '-er' indicates it is a thing that increases warmth.
