The comparative form of 'braggy'; more inclined to brag or boast than something else.
Formed from the adjective 'braggy' plus the comparative suffix '-er,' which compares two things. The base word 'braggy' (brag + -y) became the adjective form, then '-er' was added for comparison. This represents standard English morphology for creating comparative adjectives from shorter adjectives.
English comparatives reveal our word-length preferences: we say 'braggier' (not 'more braggy') because three-syllable adjectives usually take '-er' for comparatives, while longer ones use 'more.' But this rule isn't absolute—language is always slightly inconsistent, which makes English both flexible and frustratingly irregular.
