Note
A regular -er comparative with the usual spelling shift: the final -y of moody becomes -i- before the ending, as in happier or gloomier. It carries each of moody's temperamental senses, so it can mean more changeable, sulkier or more brooding. When it describes a scene or a piece of music rather than a person, it usually leans toward the gloomy, brooding side.
