/ˈɡʌʃiər/ adjective

Comparative form of gushy; more excessively sentimental, enthusiastic, or effusive than something else.

Etymology

From gushy (prone to gushing) with comparative suffix '-er' forming the comparative degree of the adjective.

Kelly Says

Comparative adjectives reveal how English lets us rate emotions—'gushier' places something on a spectrum of sentimentality, and these gradual comparisons let us express subtle emotional judgments that absolute terms can't capture.
