Etymology

The word 'glad' comes from the Old English term 'glรฆd', which means 'bright, shining, cheerful'. This term is related to similar words in other Germanic languages that convey brightness or cheerfulness. The comparative form 'gladder' emerged in Middle English as the language evolved, allowing for greater nuance in expressing emotions. The formation of comparative adjectives in English typically involves adding '-er' to the end of the base word, and this pattern holds true for 'glad', which leads to 'gladder'. Over time, the use of 'gladder' has maintained its association with increased happiness, often being used in everyday conversation to express a greater level of joy or satisfaction, especially in informal contexts.
