Etymology

The word 'curious' originates from the Latin word 'cura', meaning 'care' or 'concern.' It evolved through Old French 'curieux' and Middle English 'curious.' The superlative form, 'curiousest,' was formed by adding the suffix '-est' common in English grammar to denote the highest degree of a quality. This formation is typical in English for one-syllable adjectives, although 'curious' has three syllables. Over time, the usage of 'curiousest' has remained informal, often used in contexts involving children or playful conversations. Though not standard in formal writing, its occasional usage reflects the playful nature of language and its adaptability.
