Root Explanation
Correctest → It is formed from "correct" (from Latin "correctus", meaning to set right or make right) and the superlative suffix "-est" (meaning most). The word "correctest" means the most correct or the highest degree of correctness.
Memory Tip
Think of 'correct' meaning to set something right, and when you add '-est', it indicates the highest level of being right. So, 'correctest' means the most right.
