Have you noticed that the ground is even more marshier after all that rain?

Root Explanation

Marshier → It is formed from "marsh" (from Old English *mersc*, meaning a wetland or bog) and "-ier" (a suffix used to form comparative adjectives). The word "marshier" means more like a marsh or wetter than another area.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'marsh' as a wetland, and the '-ier' indicates that something is more like that wetland. So, 'marshier' means more marsh-like.
