Root Explanation

Threaded → It is formed from "thread" (from Old English *þræd*, meaning a long, thin strand) and "-ed" (a suffix used to form the past participle). The word "threaded" describes something that has been made with or has threads woven through it.

Memory Tip

Think of a long, thin strand ('thread') that has been used to connect or weave things together, which is what 'threaded' means.
