Etymology
The word 'comfier' derives from the adjective 'comfy,' which is a colloquial shortening of 'comfortable.' The term 'comfortable' itself comes from the Latin 'comfortare,' meaning to strengthen greatly, from 'com-' (altogether) and 'fortis' (strong). The informal use of 'comfy' likely began in the mid-20th century, transitioning from standard English into everyday speech, emphasizing relaxed and easy modes of dress or furniture. The evolution from 'comfortable' to 'comfy' and then to 'comfier' reflects language's adaptation to casual contexts, focusing on ease and warmth in modern life.
