Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

The word 'flamier' is derived from 'flame' (from Old English 'flāma', meaning a blaze or fire) and the suffix '-ier' (meaning one who or that which). Thus, 'flamier' refers to something that is more fiery or has more flame-like qualities.

Memory Tip

Think of 'flame' as representing fire, and the '-ier' suffix indicating something that has more of that quality. So, 'flamier' means something that is more like a flame.
