Etymology
The term 'cleanliest' originates from the Old English word 'clǣne,' meaning free from dirt or pollution, which evolved into the Modern English 'clean.' The comparative form is 'cleaner,' while the superlative form 'cleanliest' denotes the utmost level of cleanliness. Etymologically, 'clean' shares roots with other Germanic languages, illustrating a common perception of purity and hygiene across cultures. The suffix '-liest' is added to denote the superlative degree, making it one of the less commonly used forms in contemporary English, but it emphasizes an extreme state of being clean.
