Word origin

The word 'dotty' originated from the late 19th century, likely deriving from the noun 'dot,' which refers to a small round mark or spot, combined with the adjectival suffix '-y,' indicating characteristic or quality. As language evolved, 'dotty' began to take on more abstract meanings, including 'eccentric' or 'crazy' in British slang. The comparative form 'dottier' naturally followed, allowing speakers to compare the degree of dot-like qualities between objects. This evolution reflects broader linguistic trends where adjectives develop comparative forms to express relative characteristics. Today, 'dottier' is primarily used in artistic and descriptive contexts, emphasizing variations in pattern and design.
