Root Explanation

Skiwear → It is formed from "ski" (from Norwegian "ski", meaning a sliding board) and "wear" (from Old English "werian", meaning to carry or to dress). The word "skiwear" refers to clothing designed specifically for skiing activities.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'sliding board' ('ski') that you 'dress' in ('wear') — that's why skiwear is the clothing you wear for skiing.
