/ˈtʃɪpiəst/ adjective

Definition

Etymology

From chippy or chipper (adjective) + superlative suffix -est, following the same regular pattern as 'happiest' from 'happy' or 'saddest' from 'sad.'

Kelly Says

The '-est' superlative suffix is so deeply embedded in English that we apply it automatically to new adjectives, which is why anyone can instantly understand that 'chippiest' means 'most chipper' even if they've never encountered it before.
