Root Explanation

Readier → It is formed from "ready" (from Old English *ræde*, meaning prepared or willing) and the comparative suffix "-er" (meaning more). The word "readier" means more prepared or willing than another.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'prepared' ('ready') and then imagine them being 'more' prepared when you add '-er'.
