Definition
Comparative form of hefty; heavier or more substantial than something else.
Etymology
Comparative form of 'hefty' (adjective derived from 'heft' meaning heavy) plus -er suffix, showing how English systematically compares qualities through morphology.
Kelly Says
The word 'hefty' itself is colloquial and relatively recent (1800s), which means we watched English speakers decide that 'heavier' needed a more casual, punchy synonym—and 'hefty' stuck because it sounds more satisfying.
