Root Explanation

Minidress → The word is formed from "mini" (derived from the Latin "minimus", meaning smallest) and "dress" (from Old French "drecier", meaning to dress or arrange). A minidress refers to a dress that is the smallest or shortest in length.

Memory Tip

Think of 'mini' meaning smallest, and 'dress' as a garment — a minidress is a small or short dress.
