"More unflexible" is not a standard term in the English language, as the appropriate and commonly used word to describe the lack of flexibility is "inflexible." Nevertheless, considering your query, we can still provide a definition to clarify the opposite meaning of "more unflexible" if we reinterpret it as "the state of being even less flexible" or "increased rigidity."
Inflexible refers to the quality of being unable or resistant to adapt, change, or bend easily. It suggests a lack of pliability or the inability to modify or adjust according to circumstances. When discussing someone or something as "more unflexible," we are emphasizing their already limited capacity for flexibility or their increased resistance to change.
For instance, in a workplace setting, a more unflexible policy could indicate stricter regulations or rules with fewer exceptions. In a physical sense, an object described as more unflexible may suggest a reduced ability to yield or bend without breaking. Similarly, in a personal context, a person who is more unflexible might exhibit an even greater resistance to alternative viewpoints or ideas.
It is worth noting that "inflexible" itself can be used to express the same idea without the need for an additional comparative adjective (e.g., "He is already inflexible, refusing to consider any compromise"). As "more unflexible" is not a widely accepted phrase, it is advisable to use "inflexible" as the definitive term to accurately communicate the intended meaning.
The word "more unflexible" is derived from the Old English word "unfexibil" which means "not flexible". The prefix "un-" is used to indicate negation or reversal, while "flexible" is derived from the Latin word "flexibilis", meaning "bending or pliable". The addition of the comparative suffix "-er" in "more unflexible" indicates a greater degree of lack of flexibility compared to something else.
