Root Explanation

Seaweedy → The word is formed from "sea" (from Old English *sǣ*, meaning the large body of saltwater) and "weedy" (from Old English *wēodig*, meaning full of weeds). The term "seaweedy" describes something that is full of seaweed or resembles seaweed.

Memory Tip

Think of the large body of saltwater ('sea') being full of plants ('weedy') — that's why 'seaweedy' refers to something abundant in seaweed.
