Pronunciation: [mˈɔː vˈɜːdjʊ͡əɹəs] (IPA) 
The word "more verdurous" is spelled as /mɔː(r) vəˈdʒʊərəs/. The first syllable 'ver' is pronounced as /və(r)/ and the 'd' and 'g' combination in the second syllable is pronounced as /dʒ/. The third syllable is pronounced as /ʊə(r)/ and the stress falls on the second syllable. This word is used to describe something that is more green or lush. For example, "The forest became more verdurous after the rainy season."
The term "verdurous" is derived from the Middle English word "verdurous", which was borrowed from the Old French word "verdos" meaning "greenness" or "freshness". This Old French term ultimately traces back to the Latin word "viridis", which translates to "green".
The addition of the word "more" in "more verdurous" is a comparative form, indicating an increased degree of verdure or greenness compared to something else. The word "more" is of Old English origin, and it has been commonly used in English since the 12th century to indicate comparative degree.
