Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

This word originates from the combination of 'spangle' (from Middle English *spangel*, meaning a small, shiny object or decoration) and the suffix '-ier' (meaning one who or that which). The word 'spanglier' refers to something that is more adorned with shiny decorations or sparkles.

Memory Tip

Think of 'spangle' as a shiny decoration and '-ier' as someone or something that has more of that quality. So, a spanglier is something that has more shine or sparkle.
