The term "more wiferidden" does not have a specific etymology, as it is a combination of two separate words: "more" and "wiferidden".
The word "more" is derived from the Old English word "māra", meaning "greater" or "larger". It is related to the German word "mehr" and the Dutch word "meer", both of which also mean "more".
"Wiferidden" is a compound word consisting of "wife" and "ridden". "Wife" comes from the Old English word "wīf", meaning "woman" or "wife". "Ridden" is the past participle of the verb "ride", which originally meant "to have sexual intercourse with". Over time, its meaning evolved to convey the notion of dominance or control.
