Etymology
Made up of 'Widerstand' (resistance), a linking '-s-', and 'fähig' (able, capable). The '-er' suffix indicates the comparative, so 'more able to resist'.
Memory Tips
Picture something 'capable' ('fähig') of 'standing' ('stand') 'against' ('wider') a force, and the '-er' means it does this better.
