Morphology

tanier = tan (transparent) = tan + er

Formed by the regular comparative suffix '-er' on the adjective 'tan', yielding the meaning 'more tan'; straightforward for learners.

Etymology

Tanier is simply tan + -er, meaning 'more tan'. The color tan comes from the old process of tanning leather with tree bark, which makes a brown color, so tanier means having a stronger or 'more brown' look.
