Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

The word 'wintrier' is derived from 'winter' (from Old English 'winter', meaning the cold season) and the suffix '-ier' (meaning one who or that which). Thus, 'wintrier' refers to one who is characteristic of or related to winter.

Memory Tip

Think of 'winter' as the cold season, and the '-ier' suffix indicates someone or something that embodies that season. So, 'wintrier' describes something that is more like winter.
