Worser

Source : Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

Worser \Wors"er\, a.
   Worse. [R.]

         Thou dost deserve a worser end.          --Beau. & Fl.

         From worser thoughts which make me do amiss. --Bunyan.

         A dreadful quiet felt, and, worser far Than arms, a
         sullen interval of war.                  --Dryden.

   Note: This old and redundant form of the comparative occurs
         occasionally in the best authors, although commonly
         accounted a vulgarism. It has, at least, the analogy of
         lesser to sanction its issue. See {Lesser}. ``The
         experience of man's worser nature, which intercourse
         with ill-chosen associates, by choice or circumstance,
         peculiarly teaches.'' --Hallam.
