Usage of 'more of ~'
Dear all,
I hope you are doing as well,
I came across the below sentence when I listen BBC English.
"this could be seen as a compliment but started life as more of an insult"
From here, I don't have any idea of 'as more of ~'.
How do I supposed to understand this part and how to distinguish 'as more of insult'?
Can I split like 'life /as /more of an insult'?
