Etymology: "Spammier" is simply the comparative of "spammy," which means fuller of junk, and it is the form you reach for when one thing is more cluttered with unwanted material than another. The base word, "spammy," is built from "spam" plus the English suffix "-y," which turns a noun into an adjective meaning "characterised by" or "having the qualities of" that noun. The comparative ending "-ier" follows the usual rule for adjectives ending in "-y": the "y" changes to "i" before the "-er" is added. The root "spam" carries the real story. It began as a brand name for a canned luncheon meat, and its sense of unwanted electronic messages came later, as an extension of the idea of something being cheap, bulky and everywhere. The adjective therefore inherits a long chain of meaning: a product name first, then a word for junk, then a description of anything that looks overstuffed with it.
