Root Explanation

Weirder → It is formed from "weird" (from Old English *wyrd*, meaning fate or destiny) and the comparative suffix "-er" (meaning more). The word "weirder" means more strange or unusual, relating to a sense of fate or destiny that is out of the ordinary.

Memory Tip

Think of 'weird' as relating to 'fate' or 'destiny' — when something is 'weirder', it means it is more strange or unusual than what is expected.
