Etymology
The word 'hairy' originates from the Old English 'hæġer,' which means 'covered with hair or fur.' As English evolved, the adjective took on its modern form, 'hairy,' describing creatures with noticeable hair or fur. The comparative form 'hairier' emerged as English speakers sought to describe varying degrees of hairiness among animals, plants, and even metaphorically among situations. The addition of the suffix '-ier' follows the conventions of English comparative adjectives, allowing for easy comparison. This linguistic evolution has allowed the word to retain its descriptive nature while also expanding its usage into more abstract domains.
