Root Explanation

Flabbiest → It is formed from "flabby" (from the Middle English *flabbi*, meaning soft or weak) and the superlative suffix "-est" (meaning most). The word "flabbiest" means the most soft or weak in texture or firmness.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is the 'most soft' or 'weak' — 'flabby' describes that softness, and '-est' indicates the highest degree.
