Superlative

In grammar, the superlative is the form of an adjective (or adverb) that indicates that the person or thing (or action) modified has the quality of the adjective (or adverb) to a degree greater than that of anything it is being compared to in a given context. English superlatives are typically formed with the suffix -est (e.g. healthiest, weakest) or the word most (most recent, most interesting).

Is there an opposite to a superlative?
Q. A superlative is normally used to describe the very best of something, so what word would you use to describe the very worst? What is the opposite to the word 'superlative'? Apologies if this doesn't make much sense, it's late at night and it's a very difficult thing to phrase anyway! :)
