Morphology

wronger = wrong + wrong (transparent) = wrong + er

Formed by the regular comparative suffix '-er' on the adjective 'wrong', so the comparative meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Wronger is simply wrong plus the ending -er, which here means 'more', just like in taller from tall. So wronger means 'more wrong' or 'less accurate' and is used informally as the comparative of wrong.
