Etymology
The word 'gentler' originates from the Old French word 'gent,' which means 'noble' or 'well-born.' This term is derived from the Latin 'gentilis,' meaning 'of the same clan or race,' and reflects a sense of nobility or gentility. Over time, 'gentle' evolved to encompass meanings related to kindness, softness, and mildness. The comparative form 'gentler' was created in English to describe a greater degree of gentleness. Its usage has been prevalent in literature and everyday language, emphasizing a softer approach in contexts ranging from personal interactions to descriptions of nature.
