Root Explanation

Drippier → The word is formed from "drip" (from Old English "dripian", meaning to fall in drops) and the comparative suffix "-ier" (indicating a higher degree). Thus, "drippier" means having a greater tendency to drip or fall in drops compared to something else.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'falling in drops' ('drip') and remember that 'drippier' means it drips more than another.
