Etymology
The word 'juster' is derived from the Old French 'juste', which means 'just, fair' and has its roots in the Latin 'justus', meaning 'just, right, equitable'. The transition from Latin to English occurred through Norman influence after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. Over time, the adjective 'just' evolved in English to describe morality, righteousness, and fairness. The comparative form 'juster' developed as a means of expressing varying degrees of moral, legal, or ethical standards. Although the term 'juster' exists, its usage is relatively rare compared to its root adjective 'just'. English speakers tend to opt for phrases like 'more just' instead, leading to a decline in the prevalence of 'juster' in contemporary discourse.
