Comparative form of 'gusty'; more characterized by strong gusts or bursts of wind.
From 'gusty' (full of gusts, from Old Norse 'gustr') plus the English comparative suffix '-er,' used to compare two things.
English handles comparisons with either '-er' (gustier, windier) or 'more' (more gusty)—for one-syllable adjectives like 'gusty,' we add '-er,' but for longer adjectives we use 'more,' a pattern learners often find inconsistent.
