Pronunciation: [mˈə͡ʊst ʃɹˈɪvə͡ld] (IPA) 
The spelling of "most shriveled" can be explained through the use of IPA phonetic transcription. The word "most" is pronounced /moʊst/, with a long "o" sound and a soft "s" at the end. "Shriveled" is pronounced /ˈʃrɪvəld/, with a short "i" sound and a "v" sound followed by a soft "d" at the end. Together, the phrase "most shriveled" refers to something that is the most withered or shrunken in size or appearance.
Most shriveled refers to the highest degree of the condition of being shrunken, wrinkled, and withered. Shriveling typically occurs when something has lost moisture or has undergone a significant contraction. When an object or substance has reached the state of being most shriveled, it implies that it has experienced extensive dehydration or extreme physical transformation, resulting in a severe reduction in size, volume, or plumpness.
The term most shriveled can be used to describe various entities, such as fruits, vegetables, leaves, or even human skin. For example, a fruit that has been left out for an extended period, losing its moisture content, would become progressively shriveled. Likewise, a leaf that has dried up or lacks water supply may also become most shriveled. In the context of human skin, the term could be employed to depict extremely wrinkled or dehydrated skin.
In general, the concept of most shriveled encompasses the idea of a severe diminution in the natural characteristics or features of an object due to dehydration or contraction. It represents the ultimate stage of shrinkage, wrinkling, and withering, indicating that the object or substance has undergone a process of transformation or loss resulting in profound physical changes and reduced vitality.
The word "shriveled" has its origins in Middle English. It comes from the verb "shrivel", which can be traced back to the Old English word "scryflan" meaning "to shrivel or contract". "Shrivel" itself ultimately originates from the Old Norse word "skreppa", which has similar meanings of shrinking or shriveling. Over time, the word "shriveled" was formed by adding the suffix "-ed" to "shrivel", signifying the past participle form. However, it's worth noting that "most shriveled" is not a common expression, and the word "shriveled" typically stands alone without a comparative form.
