Word origin
The word 'tepid' has its origins in the Latin word 'tepidus', which means lukewarm or moderately warm. This Latin term is a combination of 'tepeo', meaning to be warm. Over time, 'tepid' appeared in Middle English, retaining a similar meaning of mildly warm or lukewarm. The suffix '-est' is an English grammatical construction that denotes the superlative degree, indicating that something is more than just tepid; it is at the highest level of lukewarmness. The use of 'tepidest' is relatively rare in modern English, yet it effectively conveys a more extreme sense of the lukewarm state that can be applied in various contexts, including culinary, atmospheric, or metaphorical references.
