What are the comparative and superlative forms of word contended?

The word "contended" is the past participle of the verb "contend." It's used as an adjective meaning "disputed" or "argued about." Since it describes a state rather than a degree of something, it doesn't have comparative or superlative forms.

Here's why:

* Comparative and superlative forms are used to express degrees of something. For example, "big" becomes "bigger" and "biggest."

* "Contended" describes a state of being disputed, not a level of dispute.

If you want to express different degrees of dispute, you would need to use different words or phrases, such as:

* More heavily contested

* Highly contested

* Most fiercely contested
