Etymology

The word 'sensible' originates from the Latin word 'sensibilis,' which means 'perceptible or able to be perceived.' The term evolved in Middle English as 'sensible,' reflecting the meaning of having or showing good sense or judgment. The comparative form 'sensibler' follows the pattern of adjectives that form comparatives by adding the suffix '-er.' Although 'sensibler' is grammatically correct, it is infrequently used in favor of the phrase 'more sensible.' The evolution of these terms reflects the shift in linguistic preferences over centuries, indicating a preference for multi-syllabic comparatives in modern usage.
