What are the comparative an superlative forms for exclusive?

The word "exclusive" is already in the superlative form. There is no comparative form of "exclusive".

Here's why:

* Exclusive implies a state of being the only one or being limited to a select few. There isn't a "more exclusive" or "less exclusive" state.

* More exclusive would imply a higher degree of exclusivity, which is logically impossible since exclusivity is already an absolute concept.

If you want to express a higher degree of exclusivity, you could use phrases like:

* More restricted

* Highly exclusive

* Extremely limited

* A select few

* Invitation only
