Root Explanation

The word 'sneakered' originates from 'sneaker' (from the verb 'sneak', meaning to move stealthily) combined with the suffix '-ed' (indicating a past action or condition). The term 'sneakered' refers to having worn or put on sneakers, which are shoes designed for comfort and stealthy movement.

Memory Tip

Think of 'sneak' as moving quietly and 'ed' as indicating a past action — so 'sneakered' means having moved quietly while wearing sneakers.
