Root Explanation

Buckskinned → The word is formed from "buckskin" (referring to the skin of a male deer, used for clothing) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a state or condition). Thus, "buckskinned" describes someone or something that is made of or covered with buckskin, typically referring to clothing or a style associated with early American frontiersmen.

Memory Tip

Think of 'buckskin' as the material made from deer skin, and remember that 'buckskinned' means being covered or made from that material.
