Etymology

The word 'thorough' has its origins in Old English 'þurh' which means 'through' or 'by.' Over time, it evolved into Middle English as 'thorugh' or 'thorough.' The suffix '-est' is a common ending in English used to indicate the superlative form of adjectives, meaning 'most.' The transition into the modern form 'thoroughest' represents a linguistic simplification but retains clear connections to its roots regarding depth and completeness. This evolution reflects the broadening of the concept of thoroughness in various fields, including academics, project management, and personal work ethics, emphasizing the importance of detailed attention in doing tasks.
