Etymology of LORDLIER

The word "lordlier" comes from the adjective "lordly", which itself is derived from the noun "lord".

"Lord" originated in Old English as "hlāford", which meant "bread keeper" or "bread giver". This term later evolved to refer to a feudal superior, ruler, or master. It is composed of two elements: "hlāf", meaning "bread", and "weard", meaning "warden" or "guardian".

The suffix "-ly" is added to the adjective "lord" to create "lordly", which means "like a lord" or "having the qualities of a lord". This suffix is typically used to form adjectives from nouns and means "like" or "having the characteristics of".

"Lordlier", therefore, is the comparative form of "lordly" – it means "more lordly" or "possessing even greater qualities of a lord".
