Etymology
The word 'ornery' is believed to be a dialectal variation of 'ornery', which originated in American English in the mid-19th century. It likely derived from the term 'ordinary', evolving through usage to describe an individual with a disagreeable or uncooperative nature. The comparative form 'ornerier' subsequently emerged as the adjective evolved in colloquial use. Such words often reflect the cultural attitudes towards personality traits, emphasizing the complexity of human behavior and social interaction. In this case, 'ornerier' accentuates the feelings associated with stubbornness and irritability, often with a slightly humorous undertone when used in everyday conversation.
