Definition
Superlative form of crooked; the most crooked, bent, or curved.
Etymology
From crooked plus the superlative suffix -est, the traditional English superlative formation, though 'most crooked' is preferred in contemporary usage.
Kelly Says
Like 'crookeder,' the crookedest uses the old -est superlative form—these archaic forms remind us that English is actively simplifying its grammar, moving toward longer phrases instead of inflections.
