Did you see that plant in the corner?

Yeah, it looks really unique and a bit warted.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Warted → The word 'warted' comes from 'wart' (from Old English 'wyrt', meaning a growth or tumor) and the suffix '-ed' (indicating a condition or state). Thus, 'warted' describes the condition of having warts or being covered with warts.

Memory Tip

Think of 'wart' as a growth on the skin, and the '-ed' shows that something is in that condition. So, 'warted' means having warts.
