Root Explanation
The word 'wronger' is derived from 'wrong' (from Old English 'wrang', meaning not right or incorrect) and the suffix '-er' (meaning a person who). Thus, 'wronger' refers to a person who commits wrongs or acts incorrectly.
Memory Tip
Think of someone who does things that are 'not right' ('wrong') — the '-er' indicates that this person is the one doing the wrong.
