Brusquer

/ˈbrʊskər/ adjective

Definition

More brusque; more abrupt and curt in manner than someone or something else.

Etymology

Comparative form of 'brusque', following the rule that one- or two-syllable adjectives typically add '-er' for comparison in English.

Kelly Says

Even though 'brusque' has a French fancy spelling, English still treats it like a native word when making comparisons—'brusquer' not 'more brusque'—showing how adopted words get absorbed into English grammar!
