Etymology: "Comfiest" is the superlative of "comfy", so it is an inflected form and its story is really the story of its base word. "Comfy" is a clipping of "comfortable", shortened and given the adjectival suffix "-y", a combination that dates to the early 19th century. Clipping a long adjective into a shorter, friendlier form and adding "-y" was a common way English made informal words, and "comfy" shows the pattern well: the full "comfortable" ends in "-able", while the clipped version keeps only the core "comfort" sound with a cheerful ending. Because "comfy" is an ordinary adjective, "comfiest" follows the usual rule for one-syllable-plus-y adjectives in English, changing the "y" to "i" before adding "-est". That gives the superlative "the most comfortable" in its casual sense, indicating the highest degree of relaxed ease.
