    Note

    It is built the way most one-syllable adjectives are, with -er rather than with more. The comparison carries across every meaning of broad. A river can grow broader in width, and a view, a mandate or a definition can grow broader in scope. With abstract nouns it often means less specific, so a broader account is a more general one, not necessarily a longer one.
