Toothier → It is formed from "tooth" (from Old English *toð*, meaning a hard structure in the mouth used for biting and chewing) and "-ier" (a comparative suffix indicating more of a quality). The word "toothier" means having more teeth or being characterized by more teeth than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of 'tooth' as the hard structure in your mouth, and the '-ier' means more. So, toothier means having more teeth.
