Root Explanation

Sainted → It is formed from "saint" (from Old French *saint*, meaning holy or sacred) and "-ed" (a suffix indicating a state or condition). The word "sainted" refers to someone who has been made holy or recognized as a saint.

Memory Tip

Think of someone being recognized as 'holy' ('saint') and the '-ed' showing that this is a state of being. This helps you remember that 'sainted' means made holy.
