Cowiest

/ˈkaʊiəst/ adjective

Definition

The superlative form of 'cowy,' meaning most resembling, characteristic of, or related to cows.

Etymology

From 'cow' + '-iest' (superlative suffix). English adds '-est' to one-syllable adjectives to show the highest degree, so 'cowy' becomes 'cowiest,' similar to 'biggest' from 'big'.

Kelly Says

Superlatives show how creatively we can use English suffixes—if something is extremely cow-like, it's the 'cowiest' thing you've ever seen, even though you'll rarely need this word!
