Etymology
The term 'brat' has its origins in Middle English, derived from the Old English word 'brætte,' which initially meant 'a child or young one' and later came to denote a spoiled or ill-mannered child. The suffix '-iest' is a common way in English to form superlatives, suggesting the highest degree of a particular quality. Thus, 'brattiest' is formed by taking 'bratty,' the adjectival form implying someone who behaves like a brat, and adding '-est' to imply the utmost or most extreme instance of such behavior. The word 'brat' has also undergone shifts in connotation through cultural context, sometimes referring to a child in an affectionate manner, yet often used derogatorily to describe undesirable traits in children.
