KATIEKENTUCKY commented on the word eftest
I just came across this word not in the above mentioned source, but in the short story "The Experiment" by M.R. James:
"'But the eftest way is to send you the whole, which herewith I do; copied from a book of recipes which I had of good Bishop Moore.'"
I assume it is a real word, not a typo, albeit an obscure one, meaning "swiftest and most efficient."
