Root Explanation

Druidess → The word is formed from "druid" (from Old Irish *druí*, meaning a learned or wise person, specifically a member of the priestly class in ancient Celtic culture) and the suffix "-ess" (meaning a female). A druidess refers to a female member of the druidic class, embodying wisdom and spiritual leadership.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'druid' as a wise person in ancient Celtic culture, and the '-ess' indicates that this is a female. So, a druidess is a wise woman.
