What is superlative degree of idle?

The word "idle" doesn't have a superlative degree. It's already an adjective describing a state of inactivity or being unproductive.

Here's why:

* Superlatives are used to compare three or more things and indicate the highest degree of a quality. They are often formed by adding "-est" or using "most" before the adjective.

* "Idle" is a descriptive adjective, not a comparative one. It doesn't imply comparison.

If you want to express a higher degree of inactivity or being unproductive, you might use phrases like:

* Most idle

* Extremely idle

* Utterly idle

* Completely inactive

* Totally unproductive
