Word origin
The word 'toast' originates from the Latin word 'tostare', which means 'to dry' or 'to scorch'. Over time, it evolved into Middle English, where 'toasten' meant to make something brown or crisp by heating it. The superlative form 'toastiest' likely developed as an extension of this cooking term, emphasizing the most favorable and desirable condition of toasted foods. It reflects a common culinary practice where the degree of toasting is gradually refined for personal preference, contributing to the variety in cooking techniques and tastes found across cultures.
