Corkier

/ˈkɔːrkiər/ adjective

Definition

Comparative form: more like cork in texture, appearance, or properties; more resembling the characteristics of cork material.

Etymology

From 'corky' (adjective meaning cork-like) + comparative suffix '-er'. 'Corky' is formed from 'cork' + '-y' (adjectival suffix), a process used since the 16th century.

Kelly Says

Describing something as 'corkier' reveals how we use familiar materials as comparison points—a physician in the 1800s might describe diseased tissue as 'corkier' than normal, because everyone understood cork's spongy, dense texture.
