Have you heard the new song by that band?

Yeah, it's pretty good, but I think their last one was catchier.

Root Explanation

Catchier → It is formed from "catch" (from Old English *ceccan*, meaning to seize or take hold of) and the comparative suffix "-ier" (indicating more). The word "catchier" means more capable of attracting attention or interest than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of the word 'catch' meaning to seize or grab attention, and remember that 'catchier' means something that grabs attention even more.
