Etymology
The term 'badder' is a colloquial form that emerged from the need to express a comparative degree of 'bad'. The base word 'bad' has Old English roots, derived from the word 'bรฆddel', meaning 'bad' or 'evil'. While 'bad' has been used historically for centuries, the formation of 'badder' reflects a linguistic trend where informal speech adopts playful or exaggerated forms of standard words. This kind of transformation is common in many languages, particularly in spoken language, where the rules of grammar may be relaxed for effect or humor. Despite its usage in various informal contexts, the term 'badder' is often viewed as ungrammatical in formal settings, illustrating the divide between spoken and written English.
