κομψότερον, neuter comparitive of the adjective κομψός (from κομέω to take care of, tend) neat, elegant, nice, fine; used adverbially, more finely, better: κομψότερον ἔσχεν, to be better, used of a convalescent, John 4:52 (ὅταν ὁ ἰατρός εἴπῃ for κομψῶς (yet cf. Chandler, § 885 fin.) ἔχεις, Epictetus diss. 3, 10, 13; so in Latinbelle habere, Cicero, epistles ad div. 16, 15; (cf. English 'he's doing nicely,' 'he's getting on finely'; and) German er befindet sich hübsch; es geht hübsch mit ihm).
