Etymology
The word 'kindlier' originates from the Old English term 'cynd', which means 'nature, race, or family background', reflecting a sense of innate quality or goodness associated with one's nature. The root 'kind' traces back to the Proto-West Germanic 'kind', which meant 'child or offspring', and evolved to encompass qualities like warmth and affection typical of familial relationships. Over time, 'kind' developed into a broader adjective that encapsulates gentle and benevolent actions. The comparative form 'kindlier' denotes a heightened level of kindness, suggesting a comparison between two subjects based on their compassionate behaviors. While its usage has waned in contemporary language, it is still understood in contexts aiming to highlight a warm, nurturing demeanor.
