Pronunciation: [mˈɔː kˈɜːvɪlˌɪni͡əl] (IPA) 
The word "curvilineal" is spelled with a "u" after the "r" instead of an "i" because it is derived from the Latin word "curvus" meaning "curved." The "u" helps to emphasize the curve of the word. Additionally, the word "more" is added to the beginning of the word to indicate a comparison to something that is already "curvilineal." The IPA phonetic transcription for "more curvilineal" would be /mɔː(r) kɜːvɪlɪniːəl/.
The term "more curvilineal" refers to an increased level or degree of curvilinearity. Curvilinearity pertains to the characteristic of being curved or following a curved path, rather than being straight or linear. When something is described as being "more curvilineal," it means that it possesses a greater amount or intensity of curves, bends, or curved lines in comparison to something else.
In a mathematical context, "more curvilineal" implies a greater departure from linearity. A curvilinear relationship indicates that the relationship between two variables can be better represented by a curved line, such as a quadratic or exponential function, rather than a straight line. When the term "more curvilineal" is used to describe such a relationship, it suggests that the curvature or deviation from linearity is more pronounced or accentuated.
In a visual or aesthetic context, "more curvilineal" describes objects or designs that prominently exhibit curving or flowing lines. It implies a greater presence of curves, arcs, or contours, often associated with elegance, fluidity, or organic forms. A more curvilineal design may have a higher number of smooth, rounded edges or incorporate intricate curves that enhance its aesthetic appeal.
Overall, "more curvilineal" characterizes a greater emphasis on curvature, whether in a mathematical, physical, or visual sense. It denotes increased deviation from straight lines or linear relationships, and highlights the presence of pronounced curves, bends, or flowing lines.
The word "curvilineal" is derived from the Latin roots "curvus" meaning "curved" and "linea" meaning "line". The addition of the word "more" in front indicates a comparative degree, suggesting that something is even more curved or has a greater degree of curvature. So, "more curvilineal" is simply the comparative form of "curvilineal", used to describe something that exhibits a greater amount of curviness or curves.
