Etymology
Composed of 'Widerstand' (resistance) + '-s-' (linking element) + 'fähig' (capable). The '-er' ending marks the comparative form, meaning 'more capable of resistance'.
Memory Tips
Think of something that is 'capable' ('fähig') of 'standing' ('stand') 'against' ('wider') pressure, and '-er' makes it even more so.
