Etymology

The word 'thankful' originates from the Old English term 'þancful,' which is derived from 'þanc,' meaning thought, gratitude, or reward. The suffix '-ful' denotes 'full of,' so 'thankful' essentially means 'full of thanks.' Over time, the comparative 'thankfuller' emerged to express a heightened sense of appreciation. However, its use has significantly diminished in modern language, often being replaced by more common phrases like 'more thankful' or 'more grateful.' The evolution of language has seen many such terms fade or adapt to contemporary usage, while 'thankful' remains a staple in expressing gratitude.
