adverb (prefixed to a comparative means "thereby" or 'by so much', e.g. What student is the better for mastering these futile distinctions?

It cannot enter into a construction with than: the tendency to insert it before more and less (putting any the more, none the less for anymore, no less) should be resisted, e.g. in The intellectual release had been no less (not one the less) marked than the physical. - The Oxford Guide to English Usage Alexander Demidov)
