Root Explanation

Cuddliest → It is formed from "cuddle" (of uncertain origin, possibly from the dialectal English 'cuddl', meaning to embrace or hold close) and the suffix "-iest" (meaning most). The word "cuddliest" describes something that is most suitable for cuddling or embracing.

Memory Tip

Think of the act of holding someone close ('cuddle') and the suffix that indicates the highest degree ('-iest'). This helps you remember that 'cuddliest' means the most suitable for cuddling.
