Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Inkier → The word is formed from "ink" (from Old English "inc", meaning a dark fluid used for writing) and the suffix "-ier" (meaning more). The term "inkier" describes something that has more ink or is more saturated with ink.

Memory Tip

Think of 'ink' as the dark fluid used for writing, and '-ier' means more, so 'inkier' refers to something that has more ink.
