Bloomiest

/ˈbluːmiəst/ adjective

Definition

The superlative form of bloomy, meaning having the most bloom or flower-like quality, or covered most thickly with a whitish coating.

Etymology

From 'bloom' (Old Norse blóm, flower) plus the superlative suffix '-iest'. Bloom originally referred to flowers and later extended to the powdery coating on fruits like grapes and plums.

Kelly Says

The whitish 'bloom' on fresh blueberries isn't mold—it's actually a protective waxy coating that plants make to prevent water loss. Bloomiest describes produce at peak freshness!
