Root Explanation

The word 'speckier' is derived from 'speck' (from Middle English 'speke', meaning a small spot or stain) and the suffix '-ier' (meaning more). Thus, 'speckier' refers to something that has more specks or spots than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of 'speck' as a small spot, and when something is 'speckier', it means it has more of those small spots.
