Most keen to have toilets close to bidet (8)

I believe the answer is:

pottiest

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'most keen' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are superlative adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'toilets close to bidet' is the wordplay.
'toilets' becomes 'potties' ('potty' can be a synonym of 'toilet').
'close to' indicates one should take the final letters (the close of something is the end).
The final letter of 'bidet' is 't'.
'potties'+'t'='POTTIEST'

'to have' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
