Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

The word 'sneezier' is formed from 'sneeze' (of uncertain origin, possibly imitative of the sound made during the act) and the suffix '-ier' (meaning more). The term 'sneezier' describes someone or something that causes or is prone to more sneezing.

Memory Tip

Think of the act of sneezing and how adding '-ier' means more of that action — so 'sneezier' refers to something that makes you sneeze more.
