Flossiest

/ˈflɑs.i.ɪst/ adjective

Definition

Superlative form of flossy; the most resembling floss, the most fluffy, or the most flashy and showy.

Etymology

From 'flossy' plus the superlative suffix '-est', which is the standard way English forms the highest degree of comparison for adjectives.

Kelly Says

The '-est' superlative ending is ancient Germanic grammar that English inherited, so when you say 'flossiest' you're using a grammatical pattern that's over 1,500 years old!
