the most

Most without an article is usually used as an adjective, which means almost all.

It's can also be used to form the superlative where it can go in front of an adverb.

For example:-

He objected to the results of the election most strongly.

The most is usually used to form the superlative where it goes in front of longer adjectives.

For example:-

The Miss World competition is held every year to find the most beautiful woman in the world.
