Etymology of MORE FEWER

The phrase "more fewer" is not a common or well-established term in the English language. It appears to be a combination of the words "more" and "fewer", which have opposite meanings.

"More" derives from the Old English word "māra", which means "greater in amount, number, or size". It has Germanic roots and is related to the German word "mehr" and the Dutch word "meer".

"Fewer" comes from the Middle English word "fewere", which means "a smaller number or amount". It ultimately traces back to the Old English word "fēawa" meaning "few".

It is important to note that combining these two words to form "more fewer" does not result in a commonly accepted or recognizable term in English.
