Root Explanation

Icicled is derived from the word 'icicle' (from Middle English 'icicle', which comes from Old English 'isicel', meaning a piece of ice). The suffix '-ed' indicates a past participle form. Therefore, 'icicled' refers to something that has been formed into or covered with icicles.

Memory Tip

Think of 'icicle' as a piece of ice, and when something is 'icicled', it means it has been covered with or formed into icicles.
