Etymology: "Voidest" is the superlative form of "void," so it simply means "most void." The adjective "void" came into English from Old French "voide," meaning empty, which was itself linked to the verb "voidier," to empty out or clear away. Those French roots trace back to Latin "viduus," meaning deprived or bereft, a sense that still lingers in the idea of a space stripped of contents. The superlative is built by adding the ending "-est" to the base word, following the same pattern as "emptiest" or "bluest." Because "void" is an adjective with a long, settled place in English, the form is a regular, productive one rather than a special construction, and it is most often found in older or literary writing.
