Etymology: "Gloopier" is the comparative of "gloopy", meaning more gooey or more sticky and viscous. It is formed by adding the comparative ending "-ier" to "gloopy", which is itself built from "gloop" plus the adjective suffix "-y". "Gloop" is the base word, and it describes a thick, sticky, semi-liquid substance. The "-y" suffix turns it into an adjective meaning "having the qualities of" that substance, and when that adjective is compared, the "-y" changes to "-ier" in the usual way, so "gloopy" becomes "gloopier" and "gloopiest" for the superlative.
