Root Explanation

Coverlid → It is formed from "cover" (from Old French *covrir*, meaning to cover) and "lid" (from Old English *lidd*, meaning a cover or lid). The word "coverlid" refers to a cover or lid that is used to cover something, typically a bed or a piece of furniture.

Memory Tip

Think of 'covering' something with a 'lid' — that's why a coverlid is a cover that goes over something.
