More screw-shaped is an adjective used to describe an object or structure that resembles the form or shape of a screw, but to a greater degree than another similar object. The term "more" implies a comparison to a lesser degree of screw shape.
A screw is a cylindrical or conical threaded object with a spiral groove that winds around its length. It is primarily used to fasten objects together or to control the movement of parts. When something is identified as more screw-shaped, it means that its physical characteristics more closely resemble the proper shape and structure of a screw. The spiral groove, which typically extends in a helical pattern along its length, becomes more pronounced or noticeable when referring to a more screw-shaped object.
Objects that are commonly described as more screw-shaped include screws themselves, bolts, drilling bits, augers, and certain corkscrews. These objects often feature a prominent and well-defined helical thread, which enables them to engage and interlock with other components or materials more effectively.
The term "more screw-shaped" can also be metaphorically used to describe non-physical entities that share similarities with the physical attributes of a screw, such as a narrative structure or a thought process. In these contexts, the adjective signifies that the subject possesses a structure or pattern that progressively delves deeper or twists in a manner akin to the spiral groove found on a screw.
