Definition

Comparative form meaning more gin-like, more resembling a gin, or more characteristic of a ginnery or ginning process.

Etymology

Kelly Says

This rare comparative form shows how English speakers naturally create gradations for any adjective—even specialized industrial terms can get this treatment, though it's rarely recorded in historical documents.
