Root Explanation

Nobbier → It is formed from "nob" (from Old English *nobbe*, meaning a person of high social status) and the suffix "-ier" (meaning more). The word "nobbier" means more noble or more high-class in comparison to others.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'more noble' or 'higher in status' — 'nob' refers to nobility, and '-ier' indicates a comparative form.
