Have you noticed how the skies look filmier lately?

Yeah, it’s like there’s a haze or something.

Root Explanation

Filmier → It is formed from "film" (from Old English *filme*, meaning a thin layer or membrane) and "-ier" (a suffix used to indicate a comparative degree). The word "filmier" means having more of the quality of a film or being more like a film than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'film' as a thin layer, and when something is 'filmier', it means it has more of that thin, layered quality.
