Etymology
A declined superlative form of 'schön'. The '-sten' ending appears in many grammatical cases, such as dative, genitive, and accusative masculine.
Memory Tips
Think of '-en' as the default 'weak' ending for adjectives. After 'the' (den/dem/des), the superlative will almost always be 'schönsten'.
