"Smallests" is not a recognized word in standard English or the dictionary. It appears to be an incorrect form or misinterpretation of the word "smallest," which is the superlative form of the adjective "small."
"Small" typically refers to something of limited size, extent, or scale. It denotes an object, person, or idea that is not large, significant, or extensive in comparison to others. The word represents the opposite of big or large and emphasizes the diminutive aspect of an entity.
The comparative form of "small" is "smaller," used when comparing two things, while the superlative form is "smallest," indicating the lowest degree of size or extent among a group of three or more items.
For example, when considering a set of three apples, if one is larger than the other two, we could say that it is the biggest apple. Conversely, if one of the apples is smaller than the others, it can be identified as the smallest apple.
In summary, "smallests" is an incorrect usage and should be replaced with "smallest" to accurately describe the least size or extent among a group of items.
