Charminger

/ˈtʃɑːrmɪndʒər/ adjective

Definition

Comparative form meaning more charming; more attractive and delightful than something else.

Etymology

Kelly Says

Modern English usually says 'more charming' instead of 'charminger'—this older comparative form shows how English was shifting from Germanic suffixes (-er) to Romance-based 'more/most' constructions!
