Did you see how muddiest the park got after the rain yesterday?

Root Explanation

Muddiest → It is formed from "mud" (from Old English *mudd*, meaning wet earth or soft soil) and the suffix "-iest" (meaning most). The word "muddiest" refers to the state of being the most muddy or having the greatest amount of mud.

Memory Tip

Think of 'mud' as wet earth and remember that 'muddiest' means the most muddy, like the squishiest ground after a rain.
