Etymology
The word 'milder' is derived from the Old English word 'milde', which means 'gentle' or 'tame'. Its usage can be traced back to the early centuries of the English language. Over time, it evolved into the comparative form 'milder', reflecting its function as a descriptor that compares one condition to another. The suffix '-er' is commonly used in English to form the comparative degree of adjectives. Thus, 'milder' essentially means 'more mild'. The usage of the term has expanded to encompass not just weather conditions but also general contexts, such as personalities or flavors, emphasizing a less intense or severe characteristic.
