Comparative form of dandy; more like a dandy or showing more attention to fashionable dress and appearance.
From 'dandy' (a man excessively concerned with fashion) plus the comparative suffix '-er' (from Old English), indicating greater degree.
The word 'dandy' might come from the Earl of Dandy in Scotland, or it might be related to 'a dandy' (something fine or excellent)—scholars still debate which is correct!
