Name added to a Brazilian dictionary in 2023 as an adjective meaning "incomparable" (4)

I believe the answer is:

pele

(Other definitions for pele that I've seen before include "Former Brazilian footballer" , "great forward" , "Brazilian footballer, scored over 1000 goals" , "Brazilian said to be the best footballer ever" , "Brazil's hero" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
