Forlornest

/fɔrˈlɔrnɪst/ adjective

Definition

Superlative form of forlorn; the most lonely, abandoned, hopeless, or miserable.

Etymology

Regular English superlative formation from 'forlorn,' using the '-est' suffix. This represents the highest degree of forlornness.

Kelly Says

Like 'forlorner,' 'forlornest' is archaic—we'd say 'most forlorn' today—but it shows an older stage of English when you could add '-est' to almost any adjective, even long ones.
