Root Explanation

Worshiper → It is formed from "worship" (from Old English *weorþscipe*, meaning worthiness or honor) and "-er" (meaning a person who). A worshiper is a person who shows honor or worthiness to a deity or object of reverence.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who shows 'worth' ('weorþ') and 'honor' ('scipe') to something sacred — that's what a worshiper does.
