Practice

  1. 1
    adjective
    Comparative of worthy.

    The committee judged her proposal worthier of funding than any of the others.

    Few candidates struck the panel as worthier of the honor.

    Note

    The comparative is built with -er, and the final y of worthy turns to i before the ending, as it does again in worthiest. Only the adjective compares. The noun worthy, meaning a distinguished or virtuous person, has no comparative. In use, the comparative most often carries the 'deserving' meaning and takes of: worthier of trust, worthier of the prize. More worthy says the same thing.
