Etymology of MOST DIACRITIC

The term "most diacritic" does not have a clear etymology as it is a combination of two separate words, "most" and "diacritic", both of which have their roots in different linguistic origins.

The word "most" itself comes from the Old English word "mǣst" which means "greatest" or "utmost" and is related to the German word "meist" with a similar meaning. It has been used in English since the 9th century as a superlative form of the word "much" or "many".

On the other hand, "diacritic" is derived from the Greek word "diakritikos", which means "distinguishing". Greek has greatly influenced the field of linguistics, and "diacritic" refers to any mark or sign added to a letter or character to indicate a particular sound or tone in a language.
