Root Explanation

Voweled → It is formed from "vowel" (from Latin "vocalis", meaning vocal or relating to the voice) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a past action or state). The word "voweled" means having vowels or being marked with vowels.

Memory Tip

Think of 'vowel' as relating to the sounds we make with our voice, and the '-ed' shows that something has been done — so 'voweled' means it has been marked with those vocal sounds.
