Facier

/ˈfeɪʃiər/ adjective

Definition

The comparative form of 'facy,' an archaic or dialectal adjective meaning having prominent or distinctive features of the face.

Etymology

From 'facy' (showing distinctive facial features) plus -er for comparison. This is a rare, non-standard form rarely found in modern English.

Kelly Says

Comparative adjectives in English don't always follow the regular '-er' pattern anymore—we say 'more beautiful' not 'beautifuller'—so archaic forms like 'facier' show how language rules have shifted!
