Etymology
The word 'fair' comes from the Old English 'fǣger,' meaning beautiful, pleasing, or attractive. Its use evolved over centuries, with 'fairer' developing as a comparative form to express an enhanced degree of its qualities, such as justice and beauty. The transformation reflects a broader linguistic trend in which adjectives often form comparatives and superlatives by affixing 'er' and 'est,' respectively. In English, this pattern became a standard grammatical feature around the Middle Ages, facilitating the expression of comparison in everyday language. Over time, 'fair' and its comparative 'fairer' have been entrenched in various contexts, including discussions of moral rectitude and aesthetic appreciation, showcasing the word's versatility in addressing notions of beauty and justice.
