Root Explanation

Headiest is formed from "head" (from Old English "heafod", meaning the upper part of the body or the leader) and the suffix "-iest" (meaning most). The word "headiest" refers to something that is most prominent or leading, often in a figurative sense.

Memory Tip

Think of 'head' as the top or leader, and '-iest' means the most. So, 'headiest' describes something that is the most prominent or leading.
