Etymology of MOST SECONDBEST

The phrase "most second best" is not a commonly used term in English, and as such, there is no established etymology for it. The words "most" and "second best" are, however, etymologically distinct on their own.

The word "most" originated from the Old English word "māst", which means "greatest" or "largest". It is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "maistaz". The usage of "most" as a superlative has been present in English since the early Middle English period.

On the other hand, "second best" is a phrase that combines the word "second", derived from the Old French word "secund", meaning "following" or "next after", and "best", which comes from the Old English word "bēst", meaning "good" or "excellent".
