Comparative: yeastier
Superlative: yeastiest
Yeastier → The word 'yeastier' is derived from 'yeast' (from Old English 'gist', meaning a fermenting agent) and the comparative suffix '-ier' (meaning more). Thus, 'yeastier' means having more yeast or being more like yeast in quality.
Think of 'yeast' as the fermenting agent that makes bread rise, and remember that 'yeastier' means having more of that quality.
