wors·er /ˈwɝsɚ/



 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.”
