The spelling of the word "most totaled" could be confusing for some as it seems to break the usual rules of forming past participles of verbs. However, it actually follows the regular form of adding "ed" to "total" and the word "most" acts as an intensifier. The IPA phonetic transcription of "most totaled" would be /moʊst ˈtoʊtəld/, with the stressed syllables on "most" and the first syllable of "totaled". This means the word is pronounced as "mohst TOHT-uhld".
"Most totaled" is not a standard English phrase, and therefore, it does not have a specific etymology. However, let's break down the etymology of the two words individually:
1. Most: The word "most" comes from Middle English "moste", which is derived from Old English "mǣst" or "māst". It shares its origin with other Germanic languages such as Old Frisian "mest", Old High German "meist", and Gothic "maists". It ultimately traces back to the Proto-Germanic word "*maistaz" and the Proto-Indo-European root "*meis-", meaning "great" or "big".
2. Totaled (Totalled): The word "totaled" is the past participle form of the verb "total" or "totalled".
