Etymology: "Cherriest" is the superlative of "cherry," formed by adding the suffix "-est" to the adjective. The base word "cherry" comes from the fruit, and its adjective sense, meaning bright red like a ripe cherry or fresh and lively, is what the superlative builds on. Adding "-est" to a short adjective ending in "-y" changes the "y" to "i" before the suffix, which is why the spelling shifts from "cherry" to "cherriest." The superlative form marks the highest degree of the quality: the most cherry, or the most lively and sweet. The meaning given for this entry, the utmost joy or delight, grows naturally from the fruit's associations with sweetness, freshness, and brightness.

Synonyms: most cheerful, happiest

Antonyms: saddest, most miserable
