Root Explanation
Sliced → It is formed from "slice" (from Old English *slician*, meaning to cut) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a past action). The word "sliced" means that something has been cut into pieces.
Memory Tip
Think of the action of 'cutting' ('slician') something, and the '-ed' shows that this action has already happened, meaning it has been cut.
