Choosier

/ˈtʃuːziər/ adjective

Definition

The comparative form of 'choosy,' meaning more picky or particular than something else.

Etymology

From the adjective 'choosy' plus the comparative suffix '-er,' used to compare two things (one more choosy than the other).

Kelly Says

English comparative forms (-er, -est) are shortcuts in evolution—older English used 'more choosy,' but speakers gradually shrank it to 'choosier,' showing how languages constantly streamline themselves for efficiency!
