Superlative form of 'auntly'; most aunt-like or most characteristic of an aunt.
From 'auntly' with the superlative suffix '-est' (from Old English 'æst'), following the pattern for superlatives of shorter adjectives, marking the highest degree of the quality.
Superlatives like 'auntliest' are linguistically extreme—they don't just mean 'very auntly' but claim to be the maximum possible degree, which is why in everyday speech we often use 'really' or 'very' instead of these older superlative forms.
Superlative form of auntly; highest degree of gendered stereotype about aunting as inherently feminine.
