Whether that happens or not, it is important that this question be clear, precise and concise. Including the exclamation *Superlative!" you are mentioning three distinct words in your question, making it very unclear what you actually want to know. | |
| Apr 27, 2015 at 15:08 | comment | added | Prem | Around 4 years ago, somebody else had a similar question : english.stackexchange.com/questions/30043/… : Maybe this question could be "merged" with that, though there are some Differences. | |

| Apr 27, 2015 at 14:47 | comment | added | Prem | Well, let me put it this way : Superlative means "Richest/Highest/Best in quality". Which single word means "Poorest/Lowest/Worst in quality" ? | |
| Apr 27, 2015 at 14:21 | comment | added | curiousdannii | @Prem I don't understand. Something like infralative would not have similar semantics to the noun superlative. | |
| Apr 27, 2015 at 4:57 | comment | added | Prem | @Janus Bahs Jacquet , in the first comment to the question , made a similar point about forms and semantics. In my reply, I agreed with that point (and I agree with you now) but clarified that I was looking for a word which is similar to Superlative in form and in semantics. | |
