Root Explanation

Woodsier → It is formed from "wood" (from Old English *wudu*, meaning forest or tree) and "-sier" (a comparative suffix indicating more of a quality). The word "woodsier" means having more characteristics of a wood or forest, suggesting a greater abundance of trees or woodland features.

Memory Tip

Think of 'wood' as representing trees and forests, and the '-sier' suffix indicating more of that quality — so woodsier means more like a wood or forest.
