Etymology of MORE DECREASED

The phrase "more decreased" is formed by combining the adverb "more" with the verb "decreased". Here is the etymology of each component:

1. More: The word "more" originates from the Old English word "māra", which means "greater" or "additional". It can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic language, specifically the word "maizō". This word ultimately derives from the Proto-Indo-European root "*mē-", meaning "big" or "great".

2. Decreased: The verb "decrease" comes from the Old French word "descreistre", which means "to decrease" or "to diminish". It entered English in the late 14th century. The Old French term is derived from the Latin word "discrescere", which carries the same meaning.
