Root Explanation

Multibladed → It is formed from "multi-" (meaning many) and "blade" (from Old English "blæd", meaning a cutting edge or leaf of a plant) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a state or condition). The word "multibladed" describes something that has many blades or cutting edges.

Memory Tip

Think of 'many' ('multi-') blades ('blade') — that's why multibladed means having many cutting edges.
