LEAST

What least means

The smallest amount, degree, or number of something, or at minimum.

Where the word comes from

From Old English læst, meaning "smallest" or "slightest," derived from Proto-Germanic *laistiz. This root is connected to words meaning "to follow" or "to track," possibly because the least prominent thing is what you'd notice last or follow behind. The superlative form developed naturally in Germanic languages to express the minimum degree.
