Etymology of SQUATTIEST

The word "squattiest" is derived from the base word "squat", which has its origins in Old French "esquatir", meaning "to crush" or "flatten". It then entered Middle English as "squatten", with a similar meaning of "to crush or make flat". Over time, the word evolved to include the connotation of crouching or sitting close to the ground, which is the primary sense it holds today. The superlative form "squattiest" is created by appending the suffix "-est" to "squat", implying the maximum degree of squat or crouch-like posture.
