Ultimately

/ˈʌl.tɪ.mət.li/ adverb

Definition

Ultimately means in the end, after everything has been considered or has happened. It points to the final result or basic truth of a situation.

Etymology

Formed from "ultimate" plus the adverbial suffix "-ly." It keeps the Latin sense of "at the farthest point" but applies it to outcomes and conclusions.

Kelly Says

Writers use "ultimately" as a signal flare that they’re about to tell you what really matters after all the details. It helps your brain zoom out from the mess to the final takeaway.
