Root Explanation

The word 'briniest' is derived from 'briny' (from Old English 'brin', meaning salty or brackish) and the suffix '-est' (indicating the superlative degree). Therefore, 'briniest' refers to something that is the most salty or brackish in nature.

Memory Tip

Think of 'briny' as describing something salty, and when you add '-est', it means it's the saltiest of all.
