Etymology
The word 'milkier' is derived from the base word 'milk,' which comes from Old English 'meolc' or 'milc,' tracing back to Proto-Germanic '*meluks,' meaning 'milk or to milk.' This root connects with several Germanic languages, reflecting a common cultural importance placed on milk as a staple food. The comparative form 'milkier' was formed by the addition of the suffix '-ier' to denote an increase in the quality or attribute of being milky. The usage of 'milk' has been extensive throughout history, often associated with sustenance and nourishment across various civilizations. The comparative form has appeared in English since the 19th century, indicating something patted or infused with milk or having a resemblance to milk in texture or taste.
