Definition
Most dour; the superlative form indicating the greatest degree of being gloomy, stern, or unfriendly.
Etymology
Superlative form of dour, formed by adding -est to the positive adjective. This archaic or poetic superlative follows Middle English patterns.
Kelly Says
In older English poetry, you'd see 'the dourest winter's day'—it sounds more dramatic than 'most dour,' which is why Shakespeare and his contemporaries loved these -est endings.
