Etymology
The word 'bitter' originates from the Old English word 'biter', which comes from the Proto-Germanic '*bitra', and is thought to be related to the Proto-Indo-European root '*bheid-', meaning 'to pierce' or 'to sting'. Over time, 'bitter' evolved to describe not only the taste associated with certain foods and drinks, particularly those that are unpleasant or harsh (like unsweetened chocolate or some vegetables), but also emotional states of distress and disappointment. The formation of 'bitterest' follows the standard morphological rules in English to denote the superlative degree, indicating the most extreme form of bitterness, either in flavor or metaphorical sense. The usage of this superlative form can be traced back throughout English literature, reflecting both personal and collective experiences of hardship and discontent.
