The root is bon-, and the ending tells you the job: good, bone well, bono goodness, o a good sort. Swap in - and you get the exact opposite, , which is why Esperanto learners need roughly half the vocabulary they expect. Like every adjective it agrees with its noun, so it picks up -j in the plural and -n in the accusative: . is the best.
