Etymology

The word 'exact' originates from the Latin word 'exactus', which means 'driven out' or 'precisely.' It was adapted in Middle English as 'exact,' referring to something that is strictly correct or accurate. The formation of the superlative 'exactest' follows the standard pattern of English adjectives, where the suffix '-est' is added to indicate the highest degree of an adjective. Over time, 'exact' has evolved in usage to imply not just accuracy, but also meticulousness and attention to detail. As language developed, the comparative and superlative forms became more integral in expressing levels of precision, leading to the establishment of 'exactest' as a way to denote the highest level of accuracy.
