Comparative form of distinct; more clearly different, separate, or recognizable than something else.
From distinct (Latin distinctus, from distinguere 'to separate') + -er comparative suffix. Forms the middle degree between distinct and distinctest.
While 'distincter' is grammatically correct, most native speakers say 'more distinct' instead—this shows how English is gradually losing some old comparative forms!
