Etymology: "Comfier" is simply the comparative of "comfy," so it carries the same history as its base word. "Comfy" is a clipping of "comfortable," with the adjectival suffix "-y" added to the shortened form. The shortening and suffixing took place in the early 19th century, when the word first appears in English. The comparative is formed in the regular way, by adding "-er" to a one-syllable-stem adjective ending in "-y," which changes the final "y" to "i" before the ending. So "comfier" describes something that is more cozy or relaxed than something else.

Synonyms: cozier, more comfortable, snugger, softer, easier

Antonyms: less comfortable, uncomfortable, harder, less cozy, less snug
