Etymology
The term 'loud' originated from the Middle English 'loude,' which stemmed from the Old English 'hlūd,' meaning 'noisy' or 'famous.' The comparative form 'loudlier' likely developed from the need to express a comparison in terms of volume, although it is less commonly accepted today than 'more loudly.' The evolution of adverbs in English often leads to irregular forms, and while 'loudlier' persists in some dialects, standard English prefers the phrase 'more loudly' to maintain clarity and grammatical accuracy. Over time, the usage of 'loud' and its derivatives has expanded not only to describe sound but also to indicate intensity and emphasis in various contexts.
