Etymology

The word 'stricter' is derived from the adjective 'strict', which itself comes from the Latin word 'strictus', meaning 'to draw tight or constrain'. The evolution from Latin to Old French incorporated the idea of confinement or rigidity. In English, 'strict' has taken on meanings related to severe confinement in behavior, rules, or conduct. The comparative form 'stricter' was likely formed to denote a heightened degree of strictness, emerging in the English language around the mid-19th century. As societies have evolved, so has the application of this term, frequently appearing in discussions surrounding education, law, and personal conduct.
