Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Sandier → It is formed from "sand" (from Old English *sand*, meaning loose granular material) and "-ier" (a comparative suffix indicating more of a quality). The word "sandier" means having more sand or being more like sand than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of 'sand' as the loose material and '-ier' indicating more of that quality — so 'sandier' means having more sand.
