Floppiest

/ˈflɑpiəst/ adjective

Definition

Superlative form of floppy; most inclined to flop; loosest, most soft and hanging.

Etymology

Superlative degree of 'floppy,' using the '-est' suffix, a pattern inherited from Old English for forming the strongest degree of comparison.

Kelly Says

The superlative '-est' is one of English's oldest grammatical features—'floppiest' follows the exact same pattern as Old English 'greatest' and 'smartest,' making it a direct linguistic link to Anglo-Saxon grammar.
