Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Wavier → The word is derived from the verb 'waive' (from Old French *waiver*, meaning to give up or relinquish) combined with the suffix '-er' (meaning a person who). Thus, 'wavier' refers to a person who gives up or relinquishes something.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'gives up' ('waive') something, and the '-er' indicates that this person is the one doing the action. This helps you remember that 'wavier' refers to a person who relinquishes.
