Etymology

The word 'ready' originates from the Old English 'rรฆde,' which meant 'prepared' or 'equipped.' This term has its roots in Proto-Germanic *raidhaz, which also relates to the idea of being prepared or ready. Over time, the word evolved in Middle English to 'redi' and came to signify a state of being prepared or in condition for something. The comparative form 'readier' follows the standard pattern of forming comparatives in English by adding '-ier' for two-syllable adjectives ending in a 'y' sound. The use of 'readier' effectively suggests a greater degree of readiness in various contexts, be it for tasks, challenges, or social situations, reinforcing the historical significance of preparedness that has existed throughout the evolution of the language.
