Creamier

/ˈkriːmiər/ adjective

Definition

Comparative form of 'creamy'; more creamy, having more of the rich, smooth texture of cream.

Etymology

From 'creamy' (cream plus -y, meaning 'like' or 'full of') plus the comparative suffix '-er'. Shows the standard English system of comparing adjectives.

Kelly Says

The progression creamy → creamier → creamiest shows how English handles comparison, but 'creamier' is particularly interesting because cream itself is an extreme texture, so saying something is 'creamier' means even smoother and richer than cream—pushing texture to the edge.
