feeblest
Least strong possible
Feeblest is the superlative of feeble—the weakest, frailest, or most lacking in strength or effectiveness.
It can describe physical condition, arguments, or efforts: Even the feeblest attempt deserves some credit.
The word often carries a dismissive edge: That's the feeblest excuse I've ever heard.
