Root Explanation

The word 'shoppier' is derived from 'shop' (from Old English *sceoppa*, meaning a place where goods are sold) and the suffix '-ier' (meaning more). The term 'shoppier' describes a place or person that is more inclined to shop or engage in shopping activities.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'shop' as a place where you buy things, and '-ier' means more. So, 'shoppier' means someone or something that is more about shopping.
