Floppier

/ˈflɑpiər/ adjective

Definition

More inclined to flop; more loose, soft, or hanging down; comparative form of floppy.

Etymology

Comparative degree of 'floppy' (adjective from 'flop'), using the '-er' suffix for two-syllable adjectives, a pattern stretching back to Old English.

Kelly Says

English's comparative and superlative system is ancient: 'floppier/floppiest' follows the same -er/-est pattern as 'bigger/biggest' from Old English, though we reserve these for shorter adjectives while using 'more/most' for longer ones.
