Closely connected with this use ['in respect to'] is the occurrence of to in the sense 'equal or comparable to:' --- was þere non to his prowesse (KAlis. 6538). This provides a basis for the use of to with the comparative degree, in the sense 'than:' --- nys none of wymman beter ibore To seint Johan þe baptyste (Shoreham i 590); --- another Decius, yonger to hym (MS Harl. 2261, fol. 225). Cf. present-day inferior to, superior to.
