Word origin

The term 'classier' is derived from the word 'class,' which comes from the Latin word 'classis,' meaning 'a division' or 'a group.' The suffix '-ier' denotes a comparative form in English, suggesting a higher degree of the quality described by the base word. The use of 'class' in English emerged in the late 19th century as a term to signify social stratification, while 'classier' evolved to denote a comparative style or quality. Over the years, it has been adopted in various contexts, particularly in fashion, lifestyle, and social settings, to describe entities or individuals that exude a higher degree of grace and sophistication. In popular culture, the notion of class has been often romanticized, making the term 'classier' a positive descriptor associated with luxury and exclusivity.
