Etymology
The word 'glum' has its origins in the Scottish word 'glum' meaning 'gloomy' or 'sullen'. It is believed to have derived from the Old Norse word 'glomr,' meaning 'dark' or 'gloomy,' which reflects its association with a lack of light or cheerfulness. The use of 'glummer' as a comparative form developed as English evolved, allowing speakers to express varying degrees of gloominess. The transition into the comparative form follows a common pattern in English where adjectives receive suffixes like '-er' to denote a higher degree of the quality. This evolution highlights the linguistic tendency to create more nuanced descriptions of emotional states. Over time, 'glum' and its derivatives became part of everyday language, often employed in literary contexts to evoke a certain mood or atmosphere.
