Root Explanation

Wobbler → The word 'wobbler' is formed from 'wobble' (of uncertain origin, possibly imitative of the motion) and the suffix '-er' (meaning a person or thing that performs a specified action). A wobbler is something that wobbles or causes wobbling.

Memory Tip

Think of something that 'wobbles' — that's the action, and the '-er' indicates it's a thing that does this. A wobbler is something that causes wobbling.
