Etymology
The word 'cheerful' originated in the early 14th century, derived from the Middle English 'cherful,' which meant 'full of cheer' or 'mirthful.' This term is rooted in the Old English 'cear', meaning 'care' or 'sorrow,' indicating a state of being devoid of sorrow. The suffix '-ful' is used to indicate 'full of' or possessing a quality. The transition to the comparative form 'cheerfuller' follows the English language tradition of forming comparatives by adding '-er' to adjectives. However, it's important to note that 'cheerfuller' is rarely used in modern English, with 'more cheerful' being the preferred comparative form. Despite its comparative usage, 'cheerfuller' captures the essence of expressing a higher degree of cheerfulness, albeit in a less common form.
