Pronunciation: [mˈɔː klˈɒdɪʃ] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "more cloddish" is /mɔːr ˈklɒdɪʃ/. The first part "more" is spelled as expected, but the second part "cloddish" may seem unusual. This word comes from "clod," meaning a lump of earth or a foolish person. The "-ish" suffix denotes the quality of being like or resembling that root word. So "cloddish" means roughly "like a clod." This term is often used to describe someone who is awkward or dull-witted.
More cloddish refers to being even more clumsy, awkward, or uncultivated in behavior or mannerisms. It is an adjective that describes someone or something as exhibiting traits or characteristics commonly associated with a clod, which refers to a dull or unintelligent person. The term cloddish itself is derived from the word "clod," meaning a lump of earth or a dumb person.
When used to describe an individual, the phrase "more cloddish" implies an increased level of social ineptitude, lack of sophistication, or gracelessness. It suggests that the person's actions or behavior are even more clumsy or ignorant than those typically associated with a clod. This can manifest in various ways, such as being tactless, having poor manners, or lacking awareness of social norms.
Similarly, when applied to an object or situation, "more cloddish" suggests that it is even more awkward, unrefined, or poorly executed compared to what is expected or desired. For instance, a "more cloddish" attempt at a painting might imply a lack of skill or finesse in the execution, resulting in an unpleasing, bumbling outcome.
Overall, the term "more cloddish" conveys an intensified sense of incompetence, clumsiness, or unsophistication, suggesting a higher degree of ineptitude or unrefinement than what is considered average or typical.
The word "cloddish" is derived from the noun "clod", which originally referred to a lump or mass of earth or clay. Over time, "clod" started to be used metaphorically to describe a dull or ignorant person, someone considered intellectually or socially clumsy. The "-ish" suffix is used to create an adjective form, indicating that something possesses the qualities or characteristics of the base word, in this case, "cloddish" means resembling a clod or exhibiting clod-like behavior.
However, the phrase "more cloddish" is not a word in and of itself, but rather a comparative phrase indicating that someone or something is even more cloddish than another person or thing.
