Root Explanation

The word 'snoutier' is derived from 'snout' (from Middle English 'snoute', meaning the projecting nose or jaw of an animal) and the suffix '-ier' (meaning more). Therefore, 'snoutier' describes something that has a more pronounced or larger snout than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of 'snout' as the part of an animal's face that sticks out, and '-ier' means more. So, 'snoutier' helps you remember that it refers to something with a bigger or more noticeable snout.
