strangest
Most peculiar of all
Strangest is the superlative form of strange—the most unusual, unfamiliar, or difficult to explain among a group: It was the strangest thing I'd ever seen.
The word often introduces something remarkable or hard to account for: The strangest part is that no one noticed.
