Note
A superlative that breaks the usual pattern: middle, as an adjective, takes no comparative, so there is no middler and no more middle, yet it still has a top degree. That degree comes from the suffix -most, not the word most, the same element found in midmost. Use it when things are placed in a row or ring to pick out the one nearest the true center.
