Root Explanation

Sleekier → The word is derived from "sleek" (from Old Norse *slikr*, meaning smooth or sleek) and the comparative suffix "-ier" (meaning more). The term "sleekier" refers to something that is more smooth or glossy in appearance.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'smooth' ('sleek') and 'more' ('-ier') — that's why sleekier means more smooth or glossy.
