Etymology of MORE UNEXPANSIVE

The word "unexpansive" is derived from the root word "expand", which comes from the Latin word "expandere". The prefix "un-" is commonly used in English to indicate negation or absence. When prefixed to "expand", it creates the word "unexpansive", meaning not expansive. However, the specific phrase "more unexpansive" appears to be a comparative construction, where "more" indicates a higher degree of the quality being described. So, "more unexpansive" suggests something is even less expansive compared to something else.
