Etymology
The word 'womanlier' derives from the root 'woman', which is rooted in Old English 'wīfmann', a compound of 'wīf' meaning 'woman' and 'mann' meaning 'person' or 'human being'. The suffix '-lier' indicates a comparative form. In historical contexts, women have often been associated with specific virtues and qualities, leading to the development of adjectives such as 'womanly' to describe character traits considered appropriate or ideal for women. Over time, with the evolution of gender roles and perceptions of femininity, 'womanlier' has emerged as a means of expressing a comparative degree of womanliness.
