Morphology

lowest = low (transparent) = low + est

Regular superlative formation from the adjective 'low' using the productive suffix '-est', easily derivable by learners who know comparative/superlative rules.

Etymology

Lowest comes from the simple word low ('near the ground' or 'less') plus the ending -est meaning 'most'. So lowest means 'very low' or at the very bottom, like the lowest rung of a ladder.
