Superlative form of 'coarse,' formed by adding the suffix '-est' to indicate the greatest degree. This follows the standard English pattern for short adjectives (big → biggest, coarse → coarsest).
The superlative '-est' ending is ancient—it shows up in Old English, Old Norse, and German, showing how Germanic languages have shared this grammar rule for over a thousand years!
