Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Hazier → It is formed from "hazy" (from Middle English *haisie*, meaning filled with haze or mist) and the comparative suffix "-er" (meaning more). The word "hazier" means more filled with haze or mist than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'more filled with haze' — 'hazy' describes the misty quality, and '-er' indicates a comparison.
