hungrier
Wanting food more
Hungrier is the comparative form of hungry—wanting food more intensely or more than someone else: I skipped breakfast, so I'm hungrier than you.
The word extends to any strong desire: hungrier for success, hungrier for attention.
Athletes described as hungrier want victory more desperately than their opponents.
