Etymology
The term 'falser' is derived from the base adjective 'false', which has its roots in the Latin word 'falsus', meaning 'deceived' or 'not true'. The transformation from 'false' to its comparative form 'falser' follows the regular pattern in English of forming comparatives by adding the '-er' suffix to one-syllable adjectives or those with two syllables ending in a consonant and a vowel. The usage of 'false' in English can be traced back to Middle English as 'fals', demonstrating its consistent application in discussions surrounding truth and deception. Over time, the comparative form emerged to provide a nuanced way of expressing increased levels of falsity, which became particularly valuable in philosophical, legal, and literary contexts. As the concept of truth has evolved, so too has the language surrounding it, with 'falser' capturing a specific comparative meaning within that spectrum.
