Etymology
The word 'ungodlier' derives from the prefix 'un-', which denotes negation, and the root 'godly', which originates from the Old English 'godlic', meaning resembling God or divine. 'Ungodly' itself has been used since the 14th century to describe actions or characteristics that oppose the nature of God or divine principles. As language evolved, the comparative form 'ungodlier' emerged to articulate a degree of immorality or wickedness, emphasizing that certain behaviors or thoughts could be considered worse than others. The usage of 'ungodlier' reflects societal views on morality and ethics, with its first recorded instances appearing in religious texts and moral literature that sought to define acceptable behavior in contrast to sinful actions.
