Root Explanation

Lipsticked → It is formed from "lip" (from Old English "lippa", meaning the edge or border of the mouth) and "stick" (from Old English "sticca", meaning a stick or rod). The word "lipsticked" refers to having applied lipstick to the lips, thus giving them color or enhancement with a stick-like substance.

Memory Tip

Think of the 'edge of the mouth' ('lip') being enhanced with a 'stick' of color — that's what it means to be lipsticked.
