Root Explanation

Fattily → It is formed from "fat" (from Old English "fǣtt", meaning having a large amount of body fat) and "-ily" (a suffix used to form adverbs meaning in a manner of). The word "fattily" means in a manner that is fat or characterized by fatness.

Memory Tip

Think of the word 'fat' describing something with a lot of body fat, and the '-ily' shows how it is done — so 'fattily' means doing something in a fat manner.
