Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Yeasted → It is formed from "yeast" (from Old English *gist*, meaning a fermenting agent) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a past participle or completed action). The word "yeasted" refers to something that has been fermented or risen with the help of yeast.

Memory Tip

Think of yeast as a fermenting agent that helps dough rise, so when something is 'yeasted', it means it has been made to rise with yeast.
