Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Slushiest → The word 'slush' originates from the early 19th century, likely derived from the dialectal English 'slush' (meaning a mixture of snow and water or slushy snow). The suffix '-iest' is a superlative form indicating the highest degree. Therefore, 'slushiest' refers to the most slushy or the wettest mixture of snow and water.

Memory Tip

Imagine a mixture that is the 'most' wet and 'slushy' — that's what 'slushiest' means, the highest degree of that wet, snowy mix.
