Burlier

/ˈbɜr.li.ər/ adjective

Definition

Comparative form of burly; more large, muscular, or thick-set in build.

Etymology

Comparative of 'burly,' from Middle English 'burly,' possibly from Old Norse 'búrlegr' meaning 'worthiness' or related to 'boor' (a man or peasant). The adjective evolved to describe someone with a heavy, solid build.

Kelly Says

The word 'burly' originally meant 'worthy' or 'excellent,' but somehow shifted to meaning 'big and muscular'—a reminder that words don't always keep their original meanings over time.
