Etymology

The word 'twistier' is the comparative form of the adjective 'twisty,' which derives from the verb 'twist.' 'Twist' originates from Old Germanic roots, where it was linked to the meaning of turning or winding something. Over time, 'twist' evolved in English, particularly during the late Middle Ages, to denote various forms of bending or winding. The suffix '-y' was later added to create 'twisty,' which describes something that has many twists. The comparative form 'twistier' emerged as a natural grammatical development in English to compare the degree of twisting between two entities. Today, 'twistier' is commonly used in both literal contexts, such as describing roads or structures, and metaphorical contexts, such as character arcs in narratives.
