Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

The word 'washier' is derived from 'wash' (from Old English 'wascan', meaning to cleanse or make clean) and the suffix '-ier' (meaning more). Therefore, 'washier' means more capable of washing or more inclined to wash.

Memory Tip

Think of 'wash' as cleansing and '-ier' indicating a greater degree, so 'washier' means more cleansing.
