Root Explanation

The word 'crackliest' is formed from 'crack' (of uncertain origin, possibly imitative of the sound) and the suffix '-liest' (a superlative suffix indicating the most). The term 'crackliest' describes something that is the most crackly or has the most cracks or crispness in texture.

Memory Tip

Think of 'crack' as the sound or texture that is being emphasized, and '-liest' means the most. So, 'crackliest' refers to something that has the most crackly texture.
