Etymology
The word 'rapid' derives from the Latin 'rapidus', which means 'seizing', 'hurrying', or 'sweeping along'. The concept invoked by the original Latin term suggests a sense of quickness and intensity, reflecting the way the term has been adopted into the English language. The use of 'rapider' as the comparative form showcases the development of English morphology, where certain adjectives can adopt specific endings to denote comparative states. While 'rapid' can function in both formal and informal contexts, 'rapider' is less commonly used in everyday speech, with 'faster' being the preferred comparative in most situations.
