Root Explanation

Weedier → It is formed from "weed" (from Old English *wēod*, meaning a plant that is undesirable or troublesome) and "-ier" (a comparative suffix meaning more). The word "weedier" means more like a weed or having more weeds than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of 'weed' as an undesirable plant, and the '-ier' means more. So, 'weedier' describes something that has more undesirable plants.
