This is derived from the Proto-Germanic root *"r-" and ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root *"ere-" or "*er-", meaning "to move" or "to flow." The suffix "-er" was added in English to form the agent noun, denoting a person who rows.Let me know how you fared with your Wordle today on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
