Word origin
The word 'curlier' is derived from the adjective 'curly', which has its roots in Middle English 'curlie'. The term evolved from the Old Norse word 'krull', meaning 'to curl or twist'. The suffix '-er' is used in English to form the comparative degree of adjectives, indicating a higher degree of the quality conveyed by the adjective. 'Curl' itself refers to the natural form of certain types of hair, which can be coiled up in spirals or waves. Over time, the word has become not only a descriptive term for hair but also a significant part of hair culture, influencing discussions around hair care, styling, and identity.
