Definition
A non-standard or rare comparative form meaning 'more evil,' though 'more evil' is the standard modern form.
Etymology
From 'evil' (Old English 'yfel') plus the comparative suffix '-er', which is the traditional way to form comparatives in English. However, modern English prefers 'more evil' due to the word's length and adjective classification.
Kelly Says
This word shows how English is constantly evolving—older texts used '-er' endings more freely, but modern English speakers prefer 'more' with longer adjectives, making some traditional forms feel archaic or incorrect.
