Etymology of MORE OCCASIONALLY

The phrase "more occasionally" is not a single word, but a combination of two words.

The word "more" is derived from the Old English word "māra" and the Proto-Germanic word "*maizô", meaning "greater in number or size". It has been used in English since the 13th century.

The word "occasionally" comes from the word "occasion" which has Latin origins. In Latin, "occasio" means "opportunity" or "occasion". The suffix "-ally" is added to form the adverbial form, indicating that something happens from time to time or on special occasions.

When these two words are combined, "more occasionally" means that something happens with greater frequency or happens more often on specific occasions.
