Sweetest

/ˈswiːtɪst/ adjective

Definition

Having the most sweet taste, or being the most kind, gentle, or delightful in character or behavior.

Kelly Says

The word 'sweet' for both taste and personality shows how humans instinctively linked a pleasant flavor with pleasant character—it's such an old connection that most ancient languages use the same word for both!
