Dwarfest

/ˈdwɔːrfɪst/ adjective

Definition

Superlative form of dwarf: the most dwarf-like, smallest, or most stunted among a group of things.

Etymology

From 'dwarf' with the superlative suffix '-est.' This is the traditional English way of showing that something is the most extreme example of a quality in a group.

Kelly Says

Old English used '-est' for superlatives over 1,500 years ago, and we still use it today—but only for short words, which is why we say 'most dwarfed' instead of 'dwarfedest'!
