Comparative form meaning more prone to drifting, more inclined to be carried along by currents or lacking direction.
From 'drifty' (tending to drift) with the comparative suffix '-er.' 'Drifty' derives from 'drift' plus '-y' making it an adjective, then '-er' creates the comparison.
Comparing 'drifty' qualities reveals English's obsession with gradation—we make almost any adjective comparative with '-er,' even for abstract concepts like the tendency to drift aimlessly.
