The word "shoalest" is derived from the base word "shoal". The etymology of "shoal" can be traced back to Middle English, where it was spelled as "shale" or "schole". It originated from Old English "sceald", which means shallow or shallow place. The word then evolved into "shole" in Middle English, which referred to a shallow place in water, such as a sandbar or a shallow area in a lake or river. Over time, the superlative form "shoalest" was formed by adding the suffix "-est", indicating the highest degree of being shallow. However, it's worth mentioning that "shoalest" is not commonly used in modern English, and "shallowest" is the more frequently employed term to convey the same meaning.
