Etymology

The word 'curter' is believed to be derived from the adjective 'curt', which has its origins in the Latin word 'curtus', meaning 'short'. Over time, 'curt' evolved in the English language to describe speech or behavior that is brief to the point of being rude or abrupt. The slang variation 'curter' likely emerged as a playful or modified form of 'curt', retaining the original connotation of being terse while adding a more informal twist. This usage reflects changes in social language preferences, especially in casual conversations and amongst younger speakers, where brevity and directness can sometimes take precedence over politeness.
