Fleckier

/ˈflɛkiər/ adjective

Definition

More flecked; having more spots, speckles, or marks than something else.

Etymology

Comparative form of 'flecky' (full of flecks), formed by adding '-ier,' which is the standard way to compare adjectives in English.

Kelly Says

English uses '-ier' for short adjectives and 'more' for long ones—'fleckier' vs. 'more flecked'—and this alternation is completely unconscious to speakers but consistent across the language.
