I noticed that trail was much quaggier after the rain yesterday.

Yeah, it really soaked up all the water and became a mess.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

The word 'quaggier' is derived from 'quag' (from Middle English *quagge*, meaning a bog or marsh) and the comparative suffix '-ier' (meaning more). Therefore, 'quaggier' refers to something that is more boggy or marshy in nature.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'quag' as a boggy area, and when something is 'quaggier', it means it is even more like a bog or marsh.
