Etymology
Related to.

Adverb

 * 1) more, to a greater degree

Usage notes
This word is not directly the comparative of any other term. Instead, various adverbial formations are used to express the positive degree.

Derived terms
Final was regularly lost in monosyllables in the northern West Germanic languages, so that forms without final -r are found in these languages. However, it was generally restored later by analogy with the adjective, which had retained it.
