Etymology of DUMMIEST

The word "dummiest" is derived from the adjective "dummy", which originated in the late 16th century. The term "dummy" initially referred to a mute or silent person, often a deaf-mute. It later extended in meaning to describe a person who appears lacking in intelligence or understanding. The suffix "-est" is added to the adjective "dummy" to form the superlative degree, making it "dummiest", meaning the most dummy-like or the least intelligent among a group.
