Etymology
The word ‘perfect’ comes from the Latin ‘perfectus’, meaning 'finished' or 'complete'. It is derived from the combination of the prefix 'per-', meaning 'through' or 'completely', and the root 'facere', meaning 'to do' or 'to make'. The evolution into the use of the superlative form '-est' in English reflects the standard pattern of creating comparatives and superlatives in the language. While 'perfect' has been part of the English vocabulary since the 14th century, the usage of 'perfectest' appears to be less formal and may emphasize the speaker's emotional intensity about the perfection being described. Though it may not be widely accepted in standard English, it is often found in literary and expressive contexts to evoke strong sentiments.
