Root Explanation

'shoppiest' is formed from 'shop' (from Old English *sceoppa*, meaning a place for trade or business) and '-iest' (a suffix used to form the superlative degree of adjectives). The word 'shoppiest' means the most characteristic of or resembling a shop, often in terms of being busy or filled with goods.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'shop' as a place where trade happens, and when something is the 'shoppiest', it means it has the most shop-like qualities.
