Definition
Comparative form of 'curvy'; having more curves or being more curved than something else.
Etymology
From 'curvy' (from Latin 'curvus' meaning curved) plus the comparative suffix '-er,' used to compare two things.
Kelly Says
Comparative adjectives like 'curvier' show how English creates gradations—you can be curvy, curvier, or curviest. This three-level system (positive, comparative, superlative) is a key feature of English grammar.
