Etymology

The word 'stale' comes from the Old English 'stรฆl', which means 'a fount' or 'a well'. This term evolved to describe things that have become unfit for consumption over time due to exposure to air or a lack of freshness. Over time, the term 'stale' became associated specifically with food products that have lost their freshness, such as bread or pastries. In modern usage, 'staler' is simply the comparative form of 'stale', indicating that something is more stale than another item. The transition in usage reflects the ongoing nature of language, where terms evolve to describe more specific conditions in everyday life.
