Correct spelling for the English word "more detained" is [mˈɔː dɪtˈe͡ɪnd], [mˈɔː dɪtˈeɪnd], [m_ˈɔː d_ɪ_t_ˈeɪ_n_d] (IPA phonetic alphabet).
"More detained" refers to a state or condition of being held or confined for a longer duration or period of time. This term is typically used to describe a situation in which someone or something is subject to prolonged custody, restriction, or immobilization.
The word "more" emphasizes the comparative aspect, suggesting that the duration of being detained is longer than a previous or alternative situation. This can apply to various contexts, such as legal arrests, detainment by authorities, or being held against one's will. It implies that the individual or object in question is retained or kept aside for an extended period beyond what is considered routine or usual.
In legal terms, "more detained" can refer to a person who has been subjected to longer periods of confinement or imprisonment, usually as a result of an extended legal process or decision. It can also be used to indicate a prolonged period of holding or detainment at a particular location, such as a police station, detention center, or correctional facility.
Additionally, this phrase can extend beyond the realm of individuals to describe objects or things that are held or restricted for a longer duration. For example, goods that are held in customs or kept at a storage facility for an extended period can be referred to as "more detained" compared to other items that are released or processed more quickly.
The phrase "more detained" does not have a specific etymology because it is not a commonly used or recognized phrase. However, if you are referring to the word "detained", it comes from the Old French word "detenir", which means "to hold back" or "to keep in custody". It can be traced back to the Latin word "detinere", which has a similar meaning.
