Root Explanation

Chested → The word is formed from "chest" (from Old English *cest*, meaning a box or container) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a state or condition). The term "chested" refers to having a chest or being characterized by a chest, often used in the context of physical build or appearance.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'chest' as a box or container, and the '-ed' suffix indicates a state of having that box — so 'chested' means having a chest.
