The phrase "more unpleasing" consists of two parts: "more" and "unpleasing".
The word "more" is derived from the Old English word "māra", which itself originated from the Proto-Germanic word "maizô". This word eventually evolved into "more" in Middle English. "More" is primarily used as a comparative form of "much" or "many", indicating a higher degree or quantity.
The word "unpleasing" is derived from the Old English word "unplǣsendlīc", where "un-" serves as a prefix meaning "not", and "plǣsendlīc" means "pleasing" or "agreeable". Over time, "unplǣsendlīc" transformed into "unpleasing" in Middle English, still maintaining its negative connotation.
