Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Legged → The word is derived from "leg" (from Old English "lǣg", meaning limb or leg) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a condition or quality). Thus, "legged" refers to having legs or being characterized by legs.

Memory Tip

Think of the word 'leg' which refers to a limb, and the '-ed' suffix indicates a quality, so 'legged' means having legs.
