Etymology
The word unhandier is formed by adding the prefix 'un-' to the comparative form of the word 'handy', which originated in the early 19th century. The word 'handy' itself comes from the Old English 'handig', meaning 'easy to handle or use'. The element 'un-' is commonly used in English to denote a negation or the opposite of the base word, thus making 'unhandy' imply something that is difficult to handle or inconvenient. The evolution to 'unhandier' typifies the way the English language expands by creating comparative forms that help to convey subtle differences in meaning.
