MORE UNHONEST Meaning and
Definition
-
"More unhonest" is not a common or standard phrase, as "unhonest" is already a negative term implying a lack of honesty or trustworthiness. However, taking it as an idiosyncratic phrase, we can infer that "more unhonest" would be a comparative form of an already disreputable or deceitful attribute. In other words, it suggests a greater degree or intensity of lacking honesty.
The word "unhonest" is a combination of the prefix "un-" (meaning "not" or "lacking") and the adjective "honest," which pertains to truthfulness, integrity, and sincerity. Therefore, an individual described as "more unhonest" could be someone who displays an exacerbated non-adherence to ethical standards, moral principles or truthfulness.
This phrase implies a progressively greater level of deceitfulness or lack of trustworthiness within an individual's behavior or character. It suggests that the person's dishonesty or untrustworthiness is more pronounced, blatant, or severe compared to others. They may habitually engage in deceitful acts, manipulate others, or consistently speak falsehoods.
The comparative "more" further emphasizes that this person surpasses the regular or expected level of dishonesty observed in others, potentially implying that their actions have a detrimental impact on the trust and reliability one could place in them.

Etymology of MORE UNHONEST
The term "more unhonest" is a combination of two words: "more" and "unhonest".
"More" is an adverb derived from the Old English word "mā", which means "greater". It is used to indicate an increased extent, quantity, or degree.
"Unhonest" is an adjective formed by adding the prefix "un-" to the word "honest", which is derived from the Latin word "honestus". "Honestus" originally meant "honorable" or "respectable" and later developed into the modern English term "honest". The prefix "un-" is used to negate the meaning of the word it is added to, thus making "unhonest" mean "not honest" or "dishonest".
When combined, "more unhonest" implies an increased level of dishonesty or a higher degree of lacking integrity.
