Root Explanation

The word 'winterier' is formed from 'winter' (from Old English 'winter', meaning the coldest season of the year) and '-ier' (a suffix used to form comparative adjectives). The term 'winterier' means more characteristic of or resembling winter, often referring to colder conditions or attributes associated with the winter season.

Memory Tip

Think of 'winter' as the cold season, and the '-ier' suffix indicates a comparison, so 'winterier' means more like winter.
