Etymology: "Voidier" is the comparative of "void," so it simply means "more empty." English took "void" from Old French "voide," which descends from a Latin root meaning "empty" or "vacant," and the word has long carried both the literal sense of an empty space and the legal sense of something that has no force or effect, as in a contract declared void. The comparative pattern is the ordinary English one: "void" is a one-syllable adjective, so it forms "voider" and "voidest" by adding the suffix "-er" and "-est." Because the word is more often used in its figurative or legal senses than as a plain description of physical emptiness, the comparative appears only rarely.
