Blizzardous

/blɪˈzɑrdəs/ adjective

Definition

Resembling or characteristic of a blizzard; stormy and severe with heavy snow and wind.

Etymology

Formed from 'blizzard' plus the suffix '-ous' (from Latin), which creates adjectives meaning 'full of' or 'characterized by'—similar to 'dangerous,' 'tremendous,' or 'hazardous.'

Kelly Says

The '-ous' suffix is one of English's most productive word-building tools because it comes directly from Latin, giving English speakers a powerful way to create formal, technical-sounding adjectives.
