Etymology
The word 'saltest' originates from the Middle English word 'salty,' which derives from the Old English 'sealt,' meaning 'salt.' The superlative form 'saltest' follows the general pattern of forming superlatives in English by adding 'est' to the end of the base adjective. Historically, salt has been a critical commodity throughout human civilization, often used for preserving food and enhancing flavor. As such, the adjective 'salty' became prevalent to describe the presence of salt, and its superlative form emerged to denote levels of saltiness in comparative contexts. The usage of 'saltest' in modern English reflects its culinary significance, especially in recipes and food tasting contexts.
