Etymology
The word 'dapper' originates from the early 16th century, deriving most likely from the Middle Dutch word 'dapper', which means 'brave' or 'neat'. Initially, 'dapper' was used to denote a man who was distinguished in appearance and demeanor. Over time, the term evolved in English to specifically refer to a sharp-dressed man whose attire is well kept and fashionable. The introduction of the comparative form 'dapperer' follows the common English usage of forming comparatives by adding '-er' to adjectives, indicating an increase in the quality described. The term suggests not only neatness but also an air of sophistication and charm, often associated with formal occasions and polished presentation.
