Root Explanation

Fruitier → It is formed from "fruit" (from Old French *fruit*, meaning the product of plants) and "-ier" (a suffix used to indicate a person or thing associated with a particular quality). The word "fruitier" refers to something that is more fruitful or has more fruit.

Memory Tip

Think of 'fruit' as the product of plants, and the '-ier' suffix indicates something that has more of that quality — so a fruitier thing is one that has more fruit.
