Falsest

/ˈfɔːlsɪst/ adjective

The superlative form of false; the most false, least true, or most dishonest.

Etymology

From false + -est (superlative suffix). The superlative degree of the adjective false, like 'biggest,' 'smallest,' 'coldest.'

Kelly Says

Shakespeare used 'falsest' brilliantly in betrayal scenes—'the falsest friend' cuts deeper than just 'false.' The superlative implies a special kind of treachery.
