prettygoodwordFor our ultimate word of this week's theme:
ultimate (UHL-tuh-mit) - adj., the ending of a process or series, last, furthest or farthest; highest, most significant, not subsidiary; basic, fundamental, elemental, essential; most extreme, conclusive; final, total.
Adopted by Sir Thomas Browne in 1640 from Late Latin ultimatus, past participle of ultimare, to be final/come to an end, from ultimus, last/final, superlative of ulter, beyond/distant.
