Etymology: "Sociabler" is the comparative of "sociable," so it simply means "more sociable," or more inclined to enjoy company and be outgoing. "Sociable" itself was borrowed into English from Latin "sociabilis," meaning "that can be joined or associated," built from "socius," "companion" or "ally," the same root behind "social," "society," and "associate." The adjective "sociable" is older than the comparative form. English formed comparatives by adding "-er" to many short adjectives, and "sociable," having three syllables, normally takes "more" instead, so "sociabler" is an unusual variant that appears mainly in informal or playful use. It is not a standard dictionary form, which is why many readers will find "more sociable" the natural choice.
