Welcome to the forum. The -isimo and -isima endings are added to adjectives to make them superlatives, as in, "Very...".

Contenta = happy
Contentísima = very happy

It's about the same as saying "muy contenta", or maybe, "muy, muy contenta".

Kevin is correct. And it can be used with virtually any adjective. It's a very handy way to make something "very something".
