Etymology
The word 'right' comes from Old English 'riht,' which means 'just, correct, proper.' Over time, 'right' has evolved to encompass various meanings, including moral righteousness and correctness in decision-making or action. The superlative form 'rightest' is a relatively modern construction, likely influenced by the pattern of forming superlatives in English by adding 'est' to adjectives. This formation follows similar patterns in English where adjectives are modified to indicate the highest degree or extent of the quality described. While 'rightest' is not commonly used in formal contexts, it appears in modern language to emphasize a comparative judgment of correctness, often in casual or colloquial speech.
