Etymology

The word 'bloody' comes from the Old English 'blōdig', which is derived from the Proto-Germanic '*blōdiga', meaning 'pertaining to blood'. The transformation into 'bloodier' follows the standard rules of English comparative forms, where the suffix '-ier' is added to the base adjective 'bloody'. Historically, 'bloody' has been used both literally, to refer to the presence of blood, and figuratively, to describe something harsh, violent, or aggressive. The use of 'bloodier' as the comparative form emphasizes an increase in these attributes, often in dramatic or evocative contexts, particularly in literature and media. The connotations of bloodiness have varied over time, reflecting social attitudes toward violence and conflict.
