Root Explanation

Sweeter → It is formed from "sweet" (from Old English *swēte*, meaning pleasing to the taste or mind) and "-er" (meaning more). The word "sweeter" means having a greater degree of sweetness than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'more pleasing to the taste' — 'sweet' describes the taste, and '-er' indicates a higher degree. This helps you remember that 'sweeter' means more sweet.
