Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

The word 'thrashier' is derived from 'thrash' (from Old English 'þreshan', meaning to beat or strike) and the comparative suffix '-ier' (meaning more). Thus, 'thrashier' means more inclined to beat or strike than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of 'thrash' as beating or striking, and the '-ier' indicates a greater degree. So, 'thrashier' means more likely to beat or strike.
