Etymology of UN-WARIEST

The word "un-wariest" is derived from a combination of two elements: the prefix "un-" and the adjective "wariest".

1. "un-": The prefix "un-" is a common negative prefix in English that indicates the absence or reverse of a particular quality or attribute. It is used to transform a word into its opposite meaning. In this case, "un-" negates the adjective "wariest".

2. "wariest": The adjective "wariest" is the superlative form of the adjective "wary". "Wary" means to be cautious, on guard, or watchful in facing possible danger or difficulties. "Wariest" indicates the highest degree or most intense state of wariness.

By combining these two elements, "un-wariest" is formed, describing someone or something that is not characterized by the highest degree of wariness or caution.
