Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Freest → It is formed from "free" (from Old English *freo*, meaning not in bondage or liberated) and the superlative suffix "-est" (meaning most). The word "freest" means the most free or having the greatest degree of freedom.

Memory Tip

Think of 'free' as being liberated and 'most' from '-est' — so 'freest' means having the greatest amount of freedom.
