The comparative form of false; more false, less true, or more dishonest than something else.
From false + -er (comparative suffix). The comparative degree of the adjective false, following standard English patterns like 'bigger,' 'smaller,' 'colder.'
English speakers often avoid the comparison because 'false' seems like an absolute—something is either true or false. But 'falser' and 'falsest' remind us that deception exists in degrees.
