      We have "excellence" as a gloss for 優, so it's probably not good to reuse it here.

The lack of quality references for this word is concerning. Not sure we need entries for rare and possibly nonstandard constructions like this. Our entry for 最 already has a [prefix] sense.

      最優 is most often encountered in 最+優X compounds, especially 最優先 and 最優秀, but it does seem to have a minor role solo.
