loggier

Loggier is an informal English adjective used to describe something that has more logs or is more like a log. It is not a standard entry in major dictionaries, and its usage is sporadic, typically found in casual writing or online discussion. Because it lacks formal definition, the intended meaning of loggier relies heavily on context.

Etymology: The form derives from the noun log, with the common adjectival suffix -y to yield loggy, and the comparative loggier by adding -er. The spelling with two g's reflects the concatenation of log and -gy. In pronunciation, loggier usually follows the ordinary stress pattern of English, with the comparative ending -ier.

Usage and senses: In physical contexts such as forestry or lumber, loggier can describe a pile or stock that contains more logs than usual. For example, “The yard is loggier this year due to higher timber intake.” In computing, loggier can describe software configurations that emit more detailed logging, as in “The new build is loggier, producing verbose debug logs by default.” Potential drawbacks include increased log noise and potential performance impact from excessive logging.

Overall, loggier remains a niche, informal coinage whose meaning shifts with context. It is most plausibly understood as “more log-like” or “more logging,” depending on whether the discussion centers on physical logs or diagnostic output.
