Memory trick · Prashant Sir
Successor उसी family का है जिसमें succeed है, जिसका एक meaning है 'बाद में आना'। जो आपके बाद पद सँभाले वह successor; जो पहले था वह predecessor।
Successor is from the same family as succeed, which also means 'to come after'. The one who comes after you in a post is your successor; the one who came before you is your predecessor.
