Etymology
The word 'knobby' originates from the Old English 'cnobbe,' which means a lump or a protuberance. This term gradually evolved in the English language to refer specifically to anything characterized by knobs or rounded projections. The addition of the '-ier' suffix is a common practice in English to form the comparative of adjectives, indicating a higher degree of the adjective's quality. The concept of 'knobbiness' can be found in various contexts, ranging from natural forms in nature, such as trees and stones, to man-made objects like furniture and tools. This evolution reflects the adaptability and descriptive nature of the English language, allowing speakers to convey more nuanced meanings through simple modifications of base words.
