grizzliest
Having most gray
Grizzliest is the superlative of grizzly, meaning most gray or gray-streaked: He was the grizzliest old sailor I'd ever seen.
The word describes hair, beards, or fur showing the most gray, typically from age.
Not to be confused with grizzly bears, though their name comes from the same root—their fur appears grizzled.
