Browner

/ˈbraʊnər/ adjective (comparative)

Definition

More brown in color or appearance; the comparative form used when comparing the brown color of two things.

Etymology

From 'brown' plus the '-er' comparative suffix, following standard English patterns for comparing adjectives (like taller, faster, prettier).

Kelly Says

Simple comparative adjectives like 'browner' and 'redder' are disappearing from modern English as people prefer saying 'more brown' instead—another example of English simplifying over time.
