Etymology of MORE DOVELIKE

The phrase "more dovelike" is made up of two separate parts: "more" and "dovelike".

1. "More": This word is derived from the Old English word "māra", which meant "greater" or "larger". Over time, it evolved and was adopted into Middle English as "more", maintaining the same meaning.

2. "Dovelike": This word is a compound of "dove" and the suffix "-like". "Dove" is derived from the Old English word "dūfe", which represented the bird species known for its gentle and peaceful nature. Thus, "dovelike" simply means "resembling or characteristic of a dove".

When these two words are combined, "more dovelike" means "even more resembling or characteristic of a dove" or "having even greater traits of gentleness and peacefulness".
