Root Explanation

Moistest → It is formed from "moist" (from Old French *moiste*, meaning slightly wet or damp) and the superlative suffix "-est" (meaning most). The word "moistest" means having the most moisture or being the wettest.

Memory Tip

Think of 'moist' meaning slightly wet, and when you add '-est', it indicates the highest degree of that quality — so 'moistest' means the wettest.
