Greediest

/ˈɡriːdɪəst/ adjective

Definition

Superlative form of greedy; the most intensely desirous of acquiring or consuming more than others.

Etymology

From Old English 'grædig' with the superlative suffix '-est' added to form the highest degree of comparison, meaning the maximum level of greediness.

Kelly Says

Superlatives like 'greediest' are fascinating because they create absolutes—but in real life, greed exists on a spectrum, which is why philosophers spend centuries debating what the greediest person would actually look like.
