Superlative form of broody; the most inclined to brood, think deeply, or (of birds) sit on eggs.
From 'broody' plus the superlative suffix -est. English marks the highest degree of a quality using -est for short adjectives and 'most' for longer ones.
Psychology research shows that people with the 'broodiest' temperaments—those who dwell on problems—often become the best problem-solvers and artists, suggesting that brooding mood might actually be an indicator of deeper cognitive engagement.
See 'brooded'—the superlative form most strongly implies gendered pathology.
Avoid using to describe any gender; use neutral descriptors like 'most introspective'.
