Etymology
Ultimately from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *-mHo-, cognate to (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Germanic *-umô[1] (whence English -most), via Italo-Celtic *-ism̥mo-, *-isemo-.[2] Various sound changes and contractions led to various forms, including -imus, -īmus, -ēmus, as evidenced by irregular superlatives.

Suffix
- added to adjectives to form superlative
Usage notes
Typically added to the adjective's genitive stem. Adjectives that end in -er instead take the suffix -rimus (e.g. liber > liberrimus). Some adjectives have irregular superlatives, e.g., bonus, optimus; malus, pessimus; magnus, maximus.
