Root Explanation

**Sleeker** → It is formed from "sleek" (from Old Norse *slékr*, meaning smooth or sleek) and the comparative suffix "-er" (meaning more). The word "sleeker" means more smooth or more sleek than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'more smooth' — 'sleek' describes a smooth appearance, and adding '-er' indicates a comparison, making it 'sleeker'.
