Furriest

/ˈfɜːriəst/ adjective

Definition

Superlative form of furry; the most covered with fur or having the thickest, fluffiest fur.

Etymology

Superlative of 'furry,' formed by adding '-est' to the adjective. 'Furry' comes from 'fur' with the adjective-forming suffix '-y'.

Kelly Says

Animals actually change how furry they are seasonally—a rabbit in winter is the 'furriest' version of itself, with its coat thickening for insulation. The word captures a temporary state, not a permanent characteristic, which is why the superlative matters in biology.
