haughtiest
Most condescendingly superior
Haughtiest is the superlative form of haughty—the most arrogant, disdainful, or condescending among a group: Even the haughtiest nobles had to bow before the king.
It suggests someone who looks down on others with an air of superiority: She was the haughtiest person at the party, refusing to speak with anyone she deemed beneath her.
