Etymology

The term 'starker' derives from the adjective 'stark,' which has roots in Old English 'styrce' meaning strict or stiff, and Middle English where it evolved to imply something bare, harsh, or extreme. Over time, 'stark' was used to describe contrasts in various contexts, leading to the comparative form 'starker.' The evolution of the word reflects a growing emphasis on the severity and clarity of differences, particularly in descriptions of visual contrasts or emotional states. Its usage can be traced back through literature and colloquial speech, emphasizing its role in the English language as a means to articulate intense comparisons and distinct boundaries.
