Etymology

The word 'folksier' is derived from the term 'folk', which originates from the Old English 'folc', meaning 'people'. This root has influenced several languages and has been used to describe the common people, in contrast to the elite or privileged classes. The addition of the '-sier' suffix suggests a comparative form, indicating that something embodies more folk characteristics or qualities than something else. 'Folk' has long been associated with traditional art forms, folklore, and cultural practices that are rooted in the community and passed down through generations. As a result, 'folksier' emerged as a descriptor for those elements that evoke a sense of community, warmth, and simplicity, particularly in contexts like music, literature, and arts.
