Raciest → It is formed from "race" (from Old French *rasse*, meaning a group of people with common characteristics) and the suffix "-est" (meaning the most). The word "raciest" refers to something that is the most characteristic of a particular race or group.

Memory Tip

Think of 'race' as a group of people with shared traits, and '-est' means the most. So, 'raciest' describes something that is the most representative of a specific group.
