Definition
Comparative form meaning 'in a more willing or happy manner' or 'more gladly'; with greater willingness or joy.
Etymology
From gladly (from glad plus -ly adverb suffix) plus the comparative suffix -er. Gladly itself comes from Old English glæd (bright, happy, willing) plus the adverbial -ly.
Kelly Says
You can say 'I'd gladly do it' or 'I'd gladlier do this than that'—but most modern speakers would say 'more gladly' instead. Old English and early modern English loved stacking these suffixes (-er and -ly) together, which made the language feel more flexible but also more complex!
