Etymology
The word 'beautiful' is derived from the French 'beau', from which the suffix '-ful' was added in English to create 'beautiful'. The development of the superlative form 'beautifulest' follows the same morphological patterns as many other adjectives in English. Historically, the English language has seen a variety of superlative forms developed through affixation, although in standard usage today, 'most beautiful' is predominantly favored due to its clarity and adherence to modern grammatical conventions. The attraction to the suffix '-est' may stem from Old English influences, where adjectives were often expressed in comparative and superlative forms through the addition of '-er' and '-est'. However, as language evolves, such forms sometimes fade from common use, leading to preferences for more widely accepted structures in contemporary English.
