🌳Etymology
Origin
This expression combines 'more than' (meaning 'exceeding' or 'beyond') with 'ready' (prepared) to create an emphatic intensifier. The phrase leverages the comparative structure to suggest that one's state of preparedness surpasses the necessary threshold, implying exceptional or thorough readiness.
Breakdown
more than (exceeding, beyond a certain degree) + ready (prepared, in a state of readiness) = prepared to a degree that exceeds what is merely sufficient; exceptionally well-prepared.
