Etymology: "Memorizer" is a plain formation: the verb "memorize" with the agent suffix "-er," meaning one who performs the action. "Memorize" itself comes from "memory," which traces back through Old French "memoire" to Latin "memoria," from "memor," "mindful." The suffix "-er" was attached to English verbs for centuries, so "memorizer" follows the same pattern as "reader" or "writer," producing a word for the person who memorizes.

Synonyms: recaller, rememberer, retainer
