Springiest → It is formed from "spring" (from Old English *springan*, meaning to leap or jump) and the suffix "-iest" (meaning most). The word "springiest" describes something that has the most spring or elasticity, often referring to a lively or bouncy quality.

Memory Tip

Think of something that 'leaps' or 'jumps' ('spring') the most — that's why 'springiest' means having the most bounce or liveliness.
