Superlative form of golden; the most golden in quality or appearance.
From 'golden' (adjective) + '-est' (Old English '-ost' superlative suffix). This archaic superlative follows Old English grammatical patterns that are rarely used in modern English.
Old superlatives like 'goldest' and 'brightest' show English's Anglo-Saxon roots—we don't use '-est' much anymore except in short adjectives like 'best' and 'brightest'!
