Note
A one-syllable adjective takes -est rather than most, and hot doubles its final consonant before the ending: hot, hotter, hottest, never hotest. The superlative follows the senses of hot that admit degrees, such as temperature, the feeling of heat and fever. It does not follow the electrical sense, which does not compare: a wire is hot or it is not.
