Pronunciation: [mˈə͡ʊst t͡ʃjˈuːd] (IPA) 
Most chewed is spelled using the IPA transcription /moʊst tʃud/. The first syllable is pronounced with a long "o" sound, while the "t" in "chewed" is pronounced with a "tʃ" sound like in "church." The "u" in "chewed" is pronounced like "oo," while the final "ed" is silent.

Most chewed refers to an object or substance that has undergone substantial chewing or has been chewed more than any other similar objects. The term "most chewed" implies that the object has endured repeated biting or grinding with the teeth, resulting in visible marks or signs of wear and tear that are more prominent compared to other objects of the same kind. This phrase is commonly used to describe items such as gum, food, or chew toys for pets.
When an object is labeled as "most chewed," it generally suggests that it has experienced extensive mastication, either by humans or animals. For example, in the case of gum, it refers to a piece of gum that has been chewed to the point where its flavor is significantly diminished, its texture may have altered, or it may have developed a textured surface due to multiple teeth impressions.
Furthermore, "most chewed" could also be used metaphorically to describe something that has been thoroughly analyzed, discussed, or contemplated. This figurative use implies that the subject matter has been carefully examined and scrutinized, similar to the action of chewing, to extract maximum information or understanding.
Overall, "most chewed" pertains to an object that has been subjected to substantial biting, grinding, or analysis, which often results in visible marks or thorough examination.
The word "most chewed" is not a standalone word with a specific etymology. However, "most" and "chewed" can each be traced back to their respective origins.
1. Most:
The word "most" originated from the Old English word "māst", which meant "greatest" or "most". It is akin to the Old High German word "meist", which had a similar meaning. Over time, the word evolved, and its usage expanded to indicate the superlative degree of adjectives, indicating the highest or greatest degree. For example, "most beautiful" or "most intelligent".
2. Chewed:
The word "chewed" originates from the Old English word "ceowan" or "cewian" and is related to the Old High German word "kiewan". It refers to the act of masticating or grinding food with the teeth.
