Root Explanation

Meatier → It is formed from "meat" (from Old English *mete*, meaning food or flesh) and "-ier" (a suffix used to form comparative adjectives). The word "meatier" means having more meat or being more substantial in terms of food content.

Memory Tip

Think of 'meat' as the main food, and the '-ier' suffix indicates more of it. So, 'meatier' means something that has more meat or is more substantial.
