Comparative form of gauzy; more thin, translucent, or delicate in appearance than something else.
From 'gauzy' plus the comparative suffix '-er,' forming a comparative adjective. Regular comparative formation in English for one-syllable adjectives or short multi-syllable adjectives.
English has an interesting quirk: some adjectives take '-er' (like 'gauzy' → 'gauzier') while others take 'more' (like 'transparent' → 'more transparent'). The choice depends on syllable count and historical patterns!
