Root Explanation
Brimmed → The word 'brimmed' comes from the Old English 'brymm' (meaning edge or border) combined with the suffix '-ed' (indicating a state or condition). Thus, 'brimmed' refers to something that has an edge or border, often used to describe a container that is full to the edge.
Memory Tip
Think of the 'edge' ('brymm') of a container being full, which helps you remember that 'brimmed' means filled to the edge.
