Did you see that new commercial for the hair product?

Yeah, I did! They claim it can help even the baldest people grow hair again.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Baldest → The word 'bald' comes from Old English 'beald', meaning having little or no hair, and the suffix '-est' is a superlative marker indicating the highest degree. Therefore, 'baldest' means having the least amount of hair compared to others.

Memory Tip

Think of 'bald' as having little hair, and when you add '-est', it means the person has the least hair of all.
