Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from Old English 'inner', the comparative form 'innra', combined with the superlative suffix '-mest' (a blend of comparative '-ma' and superlative '-ost'). Over centuries, the suffix fused and was reinterpreted as '-most', shifting to denote the absolute highest degree of interior placement or deepest psychological depth.
