maßvollerer

Maßvollerer is a nonstandard or coined form of the German adjective related to moderation. The base adjective is maßvoll, meaning moderate or temperate. In standard usage, the comparative is maßvoller and the superlative am maßvollsten. The form maßvollerer would imply an intensified degree beyond the standard comparative, but it is not recognized as a conventional or dictionary-approved form in everyday German.

Linguistic usage and formation: German normally builds comparisons with -er or with bitte more relaxed constructions such as mehr or noch + comparative. The hypothetical form maßvollerer would be created by adding a further -er to the already comparative maßvoller, a pattern that appears only in playful, emphatic, or experimental speech. Because it deviates from standard grammar, it risks sounding artificial or humorous in formal writing.

Semantics and practicality: If encountered, maßvollerer may signal emphasis or satire rather than a genuine grammatical category. In most contexts, speakers would instead use noch maßvoller, maßvoller als zuvor, or vergleichbare formulations to convey increasing moderation. For branding or literary effect, creators might use maßvollerer to evoke a deliberately exaggerated sense of restraint, but such usage remains niche and nonstandard.
