Definition
Comparative form of bony; more skeletal, thin, or containing more bones than another.
Etymology
Formed from the adjective 'bony' (from Old English ban, meaning bone) plus the comparative suffix -er.
Kelly Says
The spelling 'bonier' shows English's pattern of dropping the final 'y' before adding -er (like 'tiny/tinier'). This little spelling rule operates on thousands of English adjectives without most speakers consciously noticing.
