Bottommost

/ˈbɒtəmməʊst/ adjective

Definition

Located at the very bottom; lowest in position or rank.

Etymology

From 'bottom' plus the superlative suffix '-most' (from Old English -mest), used since at least the 1600s to mean 'furthest in a specified direction.'

Kelly Says

The superlative '-most' comes from an old Germanic word meaning 'extreme' or 'utmost,' and pairing it with 'bottom' creates a reinforcing emphasis—like saying 'most bottom' to stress absolute lowest position.
