most

The largest share

Most functions in several parts of speech to express the idea of the greatest amount, limit, or magnitude.

It is the superlative of many, some, or any, and it is used to form the superlative of adjectives that don’t inflect with an –est ending, as in the most advanced or the most ridiculous.
