top-rated
UK: ˌtɒp ˈreɪtɪd | US: ˌtɑːp ˈreɪtɪd
adj. ranked among the highest in quality, popularity, or performance
adj. highly praised or recommended
The word "top-rated" combines "top," derived from Old English "topp" (meaning the highest point), with "rate," from Latin "ratus" (calculated or judged). The suffix "-ed" turns the verb "rate" into an adjective, forming a compound that literally means "judged as the highest." This reflects its modern use to describe things ranked or praised as superior.
