Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

**Squishiest** → It is formed from "squish" (of uncertain origin, possibly imitative of the sound made when something is squashed) and the suffix "-iest" (meaning most). The word "squishiest" describes something that is the most squishy or soft and compressible.

Memory Tip

Imagine something that makes a soft sound when pressed — that's what 'squish' suggests, and adding '-iest' means it's the most soft and compressible.
