Etymology
The word 'flowerier' is derived from the base word 'flowery,' which comes from the Old English word 'flลwer,' meaning 'flower.' The use of 'flลwer' in a metaphorical sense to describe language that is ornate or elaborate emerged in the late Middle English period. Over time, the evolution of literary styles and the appreciation for artistic expression led to the adoption of 'flowery' as a descriptor for elaborately expressive writing. The comparative form 'flowerier' likely began to be used as writers sought to describe increasingly embellished language, particularly in poetry and prose that aimed to evoke emotion or create vivid imagery. The historical context of the word reflects an ongoing tension in literature between clear communication and artistic flourish.
