fierier
More intensely burning
Fierier is the comparative form of fiery—more intensely hot, passionate, or spirited.
A fierier temper flares more quickly; a fierier salsa burns hotter on the tongue.
The word keeps fiery's double meaning: literal flames and figurative intensity of emotion or flavor.
