Root Explanation

Trustier → It is formed from "trust" (from Old Norse *traust*, meaning confidence or reliance) and "-ier" (a comparative suffix indicating more). The word "trustier" means more trustworthy or having greater reliability than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of 'trust' as having confidence in someone, and the '-ier' means more. So, when you say someone is trustier, it means they are more reliable.
