Pronunciation: [mˈɔː pˈɪlfəd] (IPA) 
The correct spelling of the phrase "more pilfered" is /mɔr ˈpɪlfərd/. The word "more" is spelled with the letter "o" and the letter "r" at the end. The word "pilfered" has the letter "i" and the letter "e" next to each other, but they are pronounced separately. The stress is on the second syllable of "pilfered". This phrase means that more things have been stolen, typically in a sneaky or small-scale way.
"More pilfered" refers to a comparative form of the verb "pilfer," meaning to steal small items or insignificant amounts of property, typically in a surreptitious or furtive manner. The term "more pilfered" implies a greater degree or frequency of pilferage, suggesting that the act of theft has occurred to a larger extent or occurred more often than previously or than in a given comparison.
Pilfering, often considered a form of petty theft, involves taking small items or discreet amounts of someone else's possessions, often without their knowledge or detection. The action may involve secretly removing objects from their rightful place or pocketing small items without permission. "More pilfered" could denote a higher level of pilfering activity, indicating an increased frequency or volume of stolen items or property.
This term can be applied in various contexts, such as within a household, workplace, or any environment where unauthorized removal of objects occurs. It might refer to instances where the pilfering has become more prevalent, persistent, or significant than before. For instance, if office supplies are frequently disappearing, it could suggest that they are being "more pilfered" compared to a previous period, indicating an escalation in the pilfering behavior.
The word "pilfered" derives from the Middle English word "pelferen", which was used in the 14th century to mean "to plunder" or "to steal". "Pelferen" itself can be traced back to the Old French word "pelfrer", meaning "to rob" or "to misuse". Over time, "pilfered" has continued to be used to describe the act of stealing or taking property clandestinely, often in small quantities or without being noticed.
The term "more pilfered" is not an official word with an established etymology. However, one potential interpretation could be that "more" is used as an adjective to describe something being stolen or taken in larger quantities than usual.
