Superlative form of heavenly; the most heavenly, divine, or blissful.
From 'heavenly' + '-est' (superlative suffix). The '-est' suffix comes from Old English and Germanic roots, creating the superlative form. This is the highest degree of the quality being described.
The superlative '-est' is one of the oldest word-building patterns in English—we still use it exactly the way Anglo-Saxons did 1,500 years ago, making it one of our most ancient grammatical tools!
