Etymology of MORE CONTRADISTINCT

The word "more" can be traced back to Middle English, deriving from the Old English word "māra", meaning greater or increased. Contradistinct, on the other hand, comes from Latin roots. It stems from the Latin word "contra", meaning against or opposite, and "distinctus", meaning divided or separate. The combination of these elements gives rise to the meaning of contradistinct, which refers to something being sharply differentiated or distinguished from something else.
