Root Explanation

Brushier → It is formed from "brush" (from Middle English "brushe", meaning to sweep or clean) and "-ier" (a suffix used to form comparative adjectives). The word "brushier" means more like a brush or having more bristles than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'more like a brush' — the suffix '-ier' indicates a comparison, so brushier means it has more brush-like qualities.
