Cuppier

/ˈkʌpiər/ adjective

Definition

More cup-like in appearance or shape; the comparative form of cuppy.

Etymology

From cuppy (cup-like) plus the comparative suffix '-er', following standard English grammar for comparing qualities.

Kelly Says

Comparative adjectives like this show how English naturally grades qualities—'cuppier' might describe a bowl that's more rounded and cup-shaped than another, and poets used such forms even if they didn't become standard.
