Blankest → It is formed from "blank" (from Old French *blanc*, meaning white or shining) and the superlative suffix "-est" (meaning most). The word "blankest" means the most empty or devoid of content, akin to a white or unmarked surface.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'white' or 'empty' ('blank') and then consider that 'blankest' means the most empty or unmarked.
