Why “uppest” is a great word
The highest in position or rank; uppermost. From the English word 'up' (to a higher position) + the superlative suffix '-est'. Unlike "uppermost," the standard, formal term for the highest in order, or "topmost," which denotes the highest physical point, "uppest" is a rare, dialectal variant carrying a homespun insistence on elevation. It is the crow's-nest sailor squinting into the sun, the forgotten toy lodged at the very top of a cluttered closet, the last puff of steam escaping a kettle's spout—a word forever climbing toward a pinnacle it was never granted, and so remains forever unarrived.
