Cutesier

/ˈkjuːtsɪər/ adjective

Definition

Comparative form of cutesy; more affectedly or excessively cute in a way that might seem artificial.

Etymology

From 'cutesy' (cute with excessive sentimentality, probably from 'cute' + '-sy' diminutive suffix) + '-er' (comparative suffix).

Kelly Says

Cutesier suggests a judgment—that something is trying too hard to be cute, making it actually less endearing, which is why the word carries a subtle note of criticism.
