Etymology
The term 'unearthlier' emerges as a comparative form of the adjective 'unearthly,' which itself stems from the word 'earth,' indicating something related to the planet we inhabit. The prefix 'un-' in 'unearthly' denotes negation, indicating qualities that are not of or related to the earthly realm. As language evolved, this comparative form was adopted to describe an increasing degree of otherworldliness. The roots of 'earth' are traced back to Old English 'eorþe,' which signified both ground and soil. Over time, the notion of what is 'earthly' became intertwined with the physical world, leading to the creation of adjectives describing what lies beyond, particularly in literature and art. Thus, as culture explored themes of spirituality, the supernatural, and the cosmos, terms like 'unearthlier' gained traction, enabling deeper expression of the ineffable qualities that transcend human existence.
