Definition
Comparative form of ghostly; more ghost-like, spectral, pale, or eerie in appearance or quality.
Etymology
From 'ghostly' + '-er' comparative suffix. 'Ghostly' derives from 'ghost' + '-ly,' making this a double-suffix word.
Kelly Says
Words like 'ghostlier' show how English combines suffixes—we stack '-ly' onto 'ghost' to make an adjective, then add '-er' for comparison, creating longer and more specialized words from simple roots.
