The use of 'rigid' in English can be traced back to the early 17th century, and the comparative 'rigider' developed as a way to describe something that possesses more rigidity than another object. Over time, the term has been adopted across various fields, especially in science and engineering, to discuss the mechanical properties of materials. The evolution of language has made 'rigider' a handy term for professionals seeking to specify degrees of rigidity, thereby enhancing communication in technical contexts.
