Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

The word 'beachy' is derived from 'beach' (from Old English *bæce*, meaning a pebbly shore or a place by the sea) and the suffix '-y' (meaning characterized by or having the quality of). Therefore, 'beachy' describes something that is characteristic of or resembles a beach.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'beach' as a place by the sea, and the '-y' means it has the quality of a beach — that's why 'beachy' means having the qualities of a beach.
