Word origin

The term 'lowlier' is derived from the root word 'low', which comes from the Old English 'lลw', meaning 'not high, low in position, rank, or status'. The suffix '-ier' is used to form comparative adjectives in English, indicating a lower degree of a quality. The etymology of 'low' can be traced further back to Germanic and Indo-European roots, where it held similar meanings related to physical height and metaphorical status. The expression has evolved over centuries, gaining connotations associated with moral and social hierarchies. Originally, the concept of being 'low' could refer simply to geophysical elevation, but as language developed, it became more associated with human relationships and societal structures.
