Root Explanation

Slenderer → It is formed from "slender" (from Old English *slendrian*, meaning to be thin or lean) and "-er" (meaning one who). The word "slenderer" refers to one who is more slender or thinner than another.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'thinner' or 'more lean' — 'slender' describes being thin, and '-er' indicates a person who has that quality.
