Fonder is the comparative form of the adjective "fond." The word means to feel relatively affectionate for someone compared to the other. "Fonder" was first implemented in popular English literature towards the end of the 16th century.
There is a popular phrase, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder," which means that if some one lives far away in a place where the premise of meeting is scarce, then it results in the intensification of love and friendship. The phrase rests on the simple fact that if one does not see someone frequently, that person becomes rare or valuable which makes him or her appear more affectionate or dear, in the eyes of the other person.
