Etymology of MORE INGRATE

The phrase "more ingrate" is a combination of the word "more" and the adjective "ingrate".

The word "more" is derived from the Old English word "māra", which means "greater" or "bigger". It has roots in the Proto-Germanic language, where it was similar to the Old High German "mehro" and the Old Norse "meiri". Over time, "māra" evolved into the Middle English word "more", which is still used today as a comparative form to indicate an increased or additional amount of something.

On the other hand, the word "ingrate" comes from the Latin term "ingratus", which means "ungrateful" or "thankless". In Latin, "in-" is a negative prefix, while "gratus" translates to "pleasing" or "grateful".
