Etymology of MORE STUPEFACTIVE

The term more stupefactive is a combination of the adjective stupefactive and the adverb more.

The word stupefactive itself is derived from the verb stupefy, which comes from the Old French word estuper meaning bewilder or stun. It entered English in the 17th century, referring to something that causes a state of being stunned, dazed, or bewildered. The suffix -ive is added to form the adjective stupefactive, indicating something that has the quality or ability to stupefy.

The addition of the adverb more creates the comparative form, suggesting a higher degree of stupefying effect. Therefore, more stupefactive implies a greater capacity to cause stupefaction than something described as simply stupefactive.
