The word "sadder" is the comparative form of the adjective "sad". The etymology of "sad" can be traced back to the Old English word "sæd", which meant "sated, weary, full, satisfied". This Old English word derived from the Proto-Germanic word "sathaz", meaning "satisfied" or "satiated". Over time, the meaning of "sad" shifted from "satisfied" to "heavily laden", then to "heavy-hearted", and eventually to its current meaning of experiencing sorrow or unhappiness. The comparative form "sadder" was formed by adding the suffix "-er", commonly used to create the comparative form of adjectives in English.
