Root Explanation
Forested → It is formed from "forest" (from Old French *forest*, meaning a large area covered chiefly with trees and undergrowth) and "-ed" (a suffix used to form the past participle or adjective). The word "forested" means covered with trees or having a lot of trees.
Memory Tip
Imagine a place that is 'covered with trees' — that's what 'forested' means, coming from the word for a large area of trees.
