Etymology
The word 'gay' originates from the Old French word 'gai', meaning 'joyful' or 'happy', which was adopted into English in the 12th century. Over time, the meaning evolved, particularly in the 20th century, where it became associated primarily with homosexuality. The comparative form 'gayer' emerged as the language adapted to describe different degrees of this identity or expression. As societal norms shifted, the use of 'gay' expanded beyond sexual orientation, often appearing in discussions of emotional states and attitudes. Therefore, 'gayer' can refer both to a more pronounced expression of happiness and to a closer alignment with homosexual identity.
