Etymology
The word 'ancient' derives from the Latin 'antiquus', which means 'old' or 'former'. The concept of being ancient carries with it a sense of historical significance, often associated with civilizations or time periods long gone. The addition of the suffix '-er' is a linguistic feature that allows for comparison, but it has not been historically standard in English. Instead, English speakers typically prefer the term 'more ancient' to create comparative forms of adjectives. Over time, 'ancient' has been adopted into various languages, influenced by the cultural significance of ancient history and its study. As 'ancienter' is rarely found in formal texts, it remains a colloquial term that reflects the flexibility of language.
