Etymology of HIGHTEST

The word "hightest" is the superlative form of the verb "hight", which is an archaic form of the verb "to be called" or "to be named". It comes from Middle English "highte", which derived from the Old English word "hatan", meaning "to command" or "to call". In Old English, it was conjugated as "he hātte" (he is called), and over time evolved into "hight" in the present tense for the third person singular. "Hightest" is the superlative form, meaning "to be named the highest" or "to be called the highest". However, it is predominantly used in older or poetic contexts today.
