Etymology
The word 'splendider' is derived from the adjective 'splendid,' which comes from the Latin word 'splendidus', meaning bright, shining, or brilliant. The root word is 'splendeo', which means to shine or to be bright. This Latin term made its way into Middle English as 'splendour' for the state of being great or brilliant, which then evolved into 'splendid' in modern English. The addition of the comparative suffix '-er' is a typical pattern in English to form comparative adjectives. However, 'splendider' is not commonly used in formal writing or speech and is often viewed as nonstandard. Most speakers would prefer the phrase 'more splendid' to convey the same comparative meaning. Overall, the evolution of these words highlights the transition from Latin to English and the nuances in adjective formation.
