Root Explanation

Musclier is derived from "muscle" (from Latin "musculus", meaning little mouse, referring to the shape of muscles) and the suffix "-ier" (meaning one who or characterized by). The word "musclier" refers to someone who is characterized by having more muscle or being more muscular.

Memory Tip

Think of 'muscle' as referring to the shape of a little mouse, and '-ier' indicating someone who has more of that quality — that's why musclier means someone who is more muscular.
