Root Explanation

Securest → It is formed from "secure" (from Latin "securus", meaning free from care or safe) and the superlative suffix "-est" (meaning most). The word "securest" means the most free from care or the safest.

Memory Tip

Think of being the 'safest' or 'most free from worry' — 'secure' means safe, and adding '-est' shows it's the highest degree.
