Root Explanation

Homier → The word 'homier' is derived from 'home' (from Old English 'ham', meaning dwelling or residence) and the suffix '-ier' (indicating a comparative form). Thus, 'homier' means more like a home or more comfortable and inviting than another place.

Memory Tip

Think of 'home' as a place where you feel comfortable and safe, and remember that 'homier' means a place that feels even more like home.
