conjunction

  1. A particle expressing comparison, used after certain adjectives and adverbs which express comparison or diversity, as <i>more</i>, <i>better</i>, <i>other</i>, <i>otherwise</i>, and the like. It is usually followed by the object compared in the nominative case. Sometimes, however, the object compared is placed in the objective case, and <i>than</i> is then considered by some grammarians as a preposition. Sometimes the object is expressed in a sentence, usually introduced by <i>that</i>; as, I would rather suffer <i>than</i> that you should want.
