Etymology
The word 'tinny' originates from the word 'tin,' which refers to a shiny, metallic element that is often used in the production of various containers and materials. The adjective 'tinny' began to be used in the early 20th century, primarily in the context of sound quality, to describe audio that has a metallic or shallow quality, reminiscent of the sound produced by tin. The comparative form 'tinnier' follows the English language's pattern for creating comparatives, typically by adding '-er' to the end of the adjective. Over time, the use of 'tinny' has expanded to include various contexts where thinness or a lack of richness in sound is noted, and thus 'tinnier' has emerged to compare the degree of such characteristics.
