more than
Greater in quantity
More than indicates a quantity or degree exceeding what follows: More than fifty people attended, She was more than happy to help.
It functions as both comparison and intensifier.
More than can emphasize that something surpasses expectations: The trip was more than worth the cost.
In negative constructions, no more than means only or at most: It took no more than five minutes.
