Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Flukier → The word 'flukier' is derived from 'fluky' (meaning accidental or lucky), which itself comes from 'fluke' (meaning a stroke of luck or chance). The suffix '-ier' indicates a comparative form, suggesting more of the quality described by 'fluky'. Therefore, 'flukier' means more accidental or lucky than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of 'fluke' as a lucky chance, and remember that 'flukier' means having more luck or being more accidental.
