Morphology

bestest = best (transparent) = best + est

Formed by adding the emphatic '-est' to 'best' used as a noun; the intended meaning 'the very best (person/thing)' is directly recoverable.

Etymology

As a noun, bestest comes from the same playful idea: it is best with -est added to name 'the very best person or thing'. That's why people call a person or thing the bestest when they mean their favourite in a cute or informal way.
