Suggerer

Suggerer is the non-accented form often seen as a misspelling of the French verb suggérer. In standard French, the infinitive is spelled with accents as suggérer and it means to propose, to suggest, or to hint. The non-accented form may appear in casual text or on keyboards that do not easily type accented characters, but it is considered incorrect in formal writing.

The verb suggérer is transitive and used to present an idea or course of action to someone.

Etymologically, the French verb derives from Latin suggestus, through Old French, developing into the modern form
