Root Explanation

The word 'stompiest' is derived from 'stomp' (from Middle English 'stompen', meaning to tread heavily) and the superlative suffix '-iest' (meaning most). Therefore, 'stompiest' refers to the most heavy or forceful in treading or stomping.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'treading heavily' ('stomp') and the '-iest' means the most. So, 'stompiest' describes someone who is the most forceful in their stomping.
