Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Lazier → It is formed from "lazy" (from Middle English *leisie*, meaning idle or unwilling to work) and the comparative suffix "-er" (meaning more). The word "lazier" means more idle or more unwilling to work than another.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'more idle' — 'lazy' describes a lack of effort, and adding '-er' shows that they are even more so.
