Etymology
The word 'kingly' originates from the Old English term 'cyning', which means 'king'. This term has Germanic roots, linked to the Proto-Germanic '*kuningaz', which refers to a leader or ruler. The suffix '-ly' is often added to form adjectives, hence 'kingly' describes qualities pertaining to kings. The comparative form 'kinglier' is created by adding the standard comparative suffix '-er' to signify more of those kingly qualities. The use of 'kinglier' in modern English is rare and often poetic, reflecting a high degree of nobility or authority. The development of this term reflects the historical significance of kingship in various cultures, where the qualities of a king were idealized and sought after in leaders and influential figures.
