Root Explanation

The word 'billowier' is derived from 'billow' (from Old English 'bylgian', meaning to swell or surge) and the suffix '-ier' (meaning one who). Thus, 'billowier' refers to one who causes or creates billows or waves, often used in a poetic or descriptive sense.

Memory Tip

Imagine someone who creates large waves or billows — that's what a 'billowier' does, as they are the one who causes the swell.
