Etymology

The word 'deaf' itself originates from Old English 'deaf', which is akin to Old High German 'tewa' meaning 'deaf' or 'dull'. Its roots can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word '*daufaz', which conveys a sense of being unable to hear. The superlative form 'deafest' is constructed in a standard way in English by adding '-est' to the base adjective. This formation is common among adjectives in English to indicate the highest degree of the quality being described. The use and understanding of terms related to hearing loss have evolved over time, especially with increased awareness and advocacy surrounding deaf culture and the rights of hearing-impaired individuals.
