doughtier
Bolder than before
Doughtier is the comparative form of doughty, meaning braver or more valiant.
Doughty itself is an old-fashioned or literary word for courageous and determined: a doughty warrior, a doughty defender of civil rights.
The word has an archaic, slightly quaint ring that makes it suitable for heroic or mock-heroic contexts.
