Root Explanation

The word 'whirliest' is derived from 'whirl' (from Old English 'hwierlan', meaning to turn or spin) and the suffix '-iest' (meaning most). The term 'whirliest' describes something that spins or turns the most.

Memory Tip

Think of something that 'turns' or 'spins' ('whirl') the 'most' ('-iest') — that's why 'whirliest' refers to the most spinning or turning.
