The name Tomísimo

Do you know what the word tomísimo means and where I got the idea for it? No cheating and looking it up in the dictionary.

Does it come from tomar? :D

Johnny welcome to the forums,

No, it doesn't come from tomar- try again

Yep, you're getting really close ;D

Er, I'd presume "tomo" or something of the sort means tome, and then -ísimo just means a larger or bigger tome?

Er, yes, you'd be right.

It's just tomo plus the -ísimo suffix.

so tomo means tome? I didn't even know tome was a word in English.
