Curliest

/ˈkɜːrliəst/ adjective

Definition

The most curly; having the tightest, most numerous, or most prominent curls compared to all other things being compared.

Etymology

From 'curly' plus the superlative suffix '-est,' used to show the extreme degree. This follows the standard pattern for English adjectives adding '-est' for superlatives.

Kelly Says

The superlative 'curliest' shows how English speakers rank things in extremes—we need this word to describe hair so curly it seems to defy gravity!
