Word origin

The term 'comelier' derives from the Middle English word 'comely,' which traces its roots back to the Old English 'cūmlic', meaning 'pleasant' or 'agreeable'. The word has its origins in Germanic languages, where it shares similarities with the German word 'komlich', which also carries connotations of beauty and attractiveness. Throughout history, 'comely' and its derivatives have been used to describe physical appearance, emphasizing grace and charm. Over time, the use of 'comely' has diminished, becoming somewhat archaic, while its comparative form 'comelier' remains a rarer occurrence in modern English.
