bitterest
Least sweet superlative
Bitterest is the superlative form of bitter—the most bitter.
It applies to taste the bitterest coffee I've ever had, to emotions her bitterest regret, and to conflicts their bitterest enemies.
The word often emphasizes extremity: the bitterest cold, bitterest irony.
