Word origin
The word 'firmer' is the comparative form of 'firm', which has been used in English since the 14th century. It originates from the Latin word 'firmus', meaning strong, stable, or solid. Over time, the usage of 'firm' evolved to describe not only physical properties but also abstract concepts such as commitment and steadfastness. The comparative form 'firmer' arose as a way to compare the degree of firmness between two or more items or concepts. As language developed, 'firmer' came to convey a sense of increased strength or stability in various contexts, making it a versatile term used in both physical and metaphorical applications.
