Etymology
Comparative or inflected form of 'potent'. The '-er' ending signifies 'more' or the masculine nominative singular inflection.
Memory Tips
The '-er' ending is key. It either means 'more' (like in English 'stronger') or it's an ending for a masculine noun (ein potenter Mann - a potent man).
