Root Explanation

Filmiest → It is formed from "film" (from Old English *filme*, meaning a thin layer or membrane) and "-iest" (a superlative suffix meaning most). The word "filmiest" means having the most film-like quality or appearance.

Memory Tip

Think of a thin layer ('film') that is the most pronounced or noticeable ('-iest') — that's why filmiest describes something that has the most film-like quality.
