raggeder
Even more tattered
Raggeder is the comparative form of ragged, meaning more torn, frayed, or worn than something else.
The standard comparative is "more ragged," but raggeder appears in informal speech and writing: Her coat looked even raggeder than last winter.
The form emphasizes physical deterioration or, figuratively, increasing disorder: His nerves grew raggeder by the hour.
