Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

The word 'horsier' comes from 'horse' (from Old English 'hors', meaning a domesticated animal used for riding or work) and '-ier' (a suffix used to indicate a person associated with a particular thing). Therefore, 'horsier' refers to a person who is associated with or works with horses.

Memory Tip

Think of 'horse' as the animal and '-ier' as someone who is connected to it — that's why a horsier is someone who works with or is associated with horses.
