losingest
Worst record holder
Losingest is the superlative form of losing, used informally to describe the most unsuccessful competitor—the one with the worst record: the losingest team in franchise history, the losingest coach in college football.
The word is nonstandard but well-established in sports journalism and casual speech, where it fills a gap that "most losing" handles awkwardly.
