Root Explanation

Welcomer → It is formed from "welcome" (from Old English *wilcuma*, meaning a person who is pleasing or agreeable) and "-er" (meaning a person who). A welcomer is a person who provides a pleasing or agreeable reception.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'pleasing' ('wilcuma') to others — that's why a welcomer is someone who makes others feel welcome.
