From Middle English superlatyf from Old French superlatif from Late Latin superlātīvus from Latin superlātus (“extravagant, of hyperbole”), past participle of superfero (“carry over”) from super (“above”) + fero (“bear, carry”).
superlative (複数形 superlatives)
Rather formal, reflecting its Latin etymology; more colloquial alternatives include exceptional, fabulous, above and beyond, and others.
