Root Explanation

Ultraslick is formed from "ultra-" (meaning beyond or extreme) and "slick" (from Old Norse "slikr", meaning smooth or slippery). The word describes something that is extremely smooth or slippery, going beyond the usual level of slickness.

Memory Tip

Think of 'ultra-' meaning beyond, and 'slick' meaning smooth — this helps you remember that 'ultraslick' refers to something that is extremely smooth.
