The word 'easy' originates from the Middle English 'eisie', which was derived from the Old French 'aisé', meaning 'easy, convenient'. This Old French term can be traced back further to the Latin word 'facilis', meaning 'easy to do', which comes from 'facere', meaning 'to do or make'. Over centuries, 'easy' has maintained a similar meaning in various languages, evolving into its comparative form 'easier'. The use of 'easier' has been documented since the late 14th century, and it has been utilized to describe tasks or situations that are less demanding or more manageable compared to others.
