The most glad; the highest degree of happiness or pleasure.
Superlative form of 'glad,' following the standard English pattern of adding '-est' to adjectives to express the maximum degree.
In Old English, you could say 'gladdest' directly, but Shakespeare's time introduced comparative competition with words like 'happier'—yet 'gladdest' survives because it has an older, poetic ring to it.
