Etymology

The word 'heartier' is derived from the adjective 'hearty', which dates back to the Middle English term 'hertic', meaning hearty or brave, from the word 'heart'. The Old English root 'heorte' signifies the strong organ in the body that symbolizes life and emotion. Over time, 'hearty' evolved to describe not only the physical aspect but also the richness and fullness associated with food and demeanor. The comparative form 'heartier' emerged to express an increased degree of these qualities, particularly in food. The use of 'heartier' suggests a comforting, wholesome nature that appeals to our basic needs for nourishment and satisfaction.
