Comparative form of choice, meaning more carefully selected or of higher quality than another.
From 'choice' plus the comparative suffix '-er' (Old English, Germanic). A standard comparison construction in English.
The comparative 'choicer' is rarely used in modern English because 'choice' itself describes something already at the top tier—saying something is 'more choice' is like saying 'more ultimate,' which creates a grammatical oddity.
