Etymology: "Pudgiest" is the superlative of "pudgy," so it is best understood through its base word. "Pudgy" appeared in English around the 1790s, and its origin is uncertain, though it is generally linked to "pudge," a word of similar meaning that is itself of unclear origin. Some dictionaries connect the family to "podge," a dialect word for a short, thick-set person or thing. The ending is the ordinary English pattern: "pudgy" becomes "pudgier" and then "pudgiest" by the same rule that turns "happy" into "happiest." The "y" changes to "i" before the "-er" or "-est" ending, which is why the spelling looks slightly unusual.
