Root Explanation

The word 'heathiest' is derived from 'heath' (from Old English 'hæth', meaning an area of uncultivated land) and the superlative suffix '-iest' (meaning most). Therefore, 'heathiest' refers to the most characteristic of or resembling a heath, typically in terms of vegetation or landscape.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'heath' as a wild, uncultivated area, and remember that 'heathiest' means the most like a heath.
