Etymology of MORE ACQUITTED

The phrase "more acquitted" is a comparative form of the verb "to acquit". Let's break down the etymology of the word "acquit" itself:

The word "acquit" originated from the Old French term "acquiter", which meant "to pay a debt, set free, or absolve". This Old French word can be traced back to the Latin word "acquiētāre", which was formed by combining the prefix "ad-" (meaning "to" or "towards") with the verb "quiētāre" (meaning "to calm" or "to rest").

Over time, the meaning of "acquit" shifted to refer primarily to the legal context of freeing someone from a charge or accusation. When we add the comparative form "more" before "acquitted", it simply indicates a higher degree of being acquitted or more completely absolved.
