Note
The superlative turns the final y to i before adding -est: fancy, fancier, fanciest. It carries every sense of fancy, so context decides what is at its peak: the most decorated, the highest grade, the most skillfully done, or, colloquially, the most needlessly complicated. The fanciest china can be the most ornate and the finest quality at once.
