Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Dizzier → The word 'dizzy' originates from Middle English 'dizzy' (meaning having a whirling sensation) and the comparative suffix '-ier' (meaning more). Therefore, 'dizzier' means having a greater sensation of whirling or lightheadedness than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of feeling 'more' lightheaded or 'whirling' when you are 'dizzier' than before.
