When applied to hair, frizzlier indicates that the hair has a tendency to become frizzy, lacking smoothness and defined curls or waves. It suggests a greater amount of frizz than normal, with individual strands of hair standing out and appearing unruly. Frizzlier hair often lacks control and can give a disheveled or unkempt appearance. This may be caused by factors such as humidity, excessive heat, or dryness.
Similarly, when frizzlier is used to describe fabric or other materials, it suggests that they have a tendency to bunch up or develop small curls or waves on the surface. This can occur due to various reasons such as the nature of the material or static electricity. Frizzlier fabric may feel rough or uneven to touch, and its texture may appear less smooth and refined.
In general, the term frizzlier is used to identify and describe the increased frizz or frizziness of a substance, implying a more pronounced and noticeable state of frizz compared to usual or typical conditions.
The word "frizzlier" is derived from the base word "frizzy". "Frizzy" originated in the early 19th century and is formed from the noun "frizz" combined with the suffix "-y", which denotes a tendency or quality. The noun "frizz" comes from the Middle French word "friser", meaning "to curl", or from the Old French word "fricser", derived from the Medieval Latin "frisare" or "frisus", meaning "curled". The exact etymology of "frizzlier" would follow the same pattern, with the addition of the comparative suffix "-ier" to "frizzy", indicating a higher degree of frizziness.
