Etymology of ARTIEST

The word "artiest" is formed by adding the suffix "-est" to the base word "art".

The base word "art" comes from the Latin root word "ars" or "artis", which means skill, craftsmanship, or art. This word was inherited from Old French and ultimately derives from the Latin verb "artire" meaning "to join" or "to fit together".

The suffix "-est" is a superlative suffix in English, used to form the superlative degree of adjectives and adverbs. It indicates the highest degree or the most extreme form of a quality.

Therefore, "artiest" would mean "the most artistic" or "exhibiting the highest degree of artistic ability". However, it is important to note that "artiest" is not a commonly used English word, and "most artistic" or "most skilled in art" might be more frequently used expressions.
