The superlative form meaning most cursed; the greatest degree of being cursed or heavily afflicted by bad luck or curses.
From 'cursed' plus the superlative suffix '-est,' following the standard Old English pattern of forming superlatives (like 'happier' → 'happiest'). This archaic or poetic form predates modern preferences for 'most cursed.'
Shakespeare and the Bible loved 'cursedest' because it sounds more emphatic and dramatic than 'most cursed'—medieval English speakers felt that '-est' endings hit harder, especially in curses and solemn declarations.
