Etymology
The word 'unjuster' is derived from the negative prefix 'un-' attached to the adjective 'just', which comes from the Latin 'justus', meaning 'lawful' or 'fair'. The formation of the comparative 'unjuster' follows the English language's pattern of creating comparatives by adding '-er' to adjectives. However, the use of such a term is limited, and 'more unjust' is often preferred in contemporary speech. The development of the term aligns with historical contexts where justice has been debated, particularly in legal and moral frameworks. As societies evolved, concern over fairness led to the emergence of terms that articulate varying degrees of justice and injustice, resulting in the comparative forms we see today.
