Origin of 'spacier'

The word 'spacious' originates from the Middle French 'spacieux' and the Latin 'spatiosus', which means 'having space'. The suffix '-ier' is used in English to create comparatives, indicating a greater degree of the quality described by the adjective. Hence, 'spacier' emerges as a completely legitimate comparative form of 'spacious'. This formation reflects the evolution of the term as it adapts through various linguistic influences, including the transition from Latin to Romance languages and finally to modern English. The emphasis on space in design and architecture has made this term increasingly relevant as more people seek living and working spaces that are less confined.
