Etymology

The word 'hollow' originates from the Old English term 'holh', meaning 'a hole or cavity', which has roots in Germanic languages. This term evolved over centuries to describe objects or spaces that are empty inside. The superlative form, 'hollowest', has been formed by adding the suffix '-est', commonly used in English to denote the highest degree of an adjective. The concept of hollowness extends beyond physical emptiness; it is frequently employed in literature and speech to convey emotional or moral vacuity. As language evolved, 'hollow' became synonymous with insincerity or lack of substance, influencing the way 'hollowest' is used in both everyday conversation and literary contexts, reflecting a deeper philosophical interpretation of emptiness.
