I saw you in the kitchen earlier, looking so aproned and ready to cook!

Root Explanation

The word 'aproned' is derived from 'apron' (from Old French *naperon*, meaning a small cloth or cloth covering) and the suffix '-ed' (indicating a state or condition). The term 'aproned' describes someone or something that is wearing or has been provided with an apron.

Memory Tip

Think of 'apron' as a small cloth covering that you wear, and the '-ed' shows that someone is in a state of wearing it.
