ultimate (comparativemoreultimate,superlativemostultimate)

  1. (not comparable)Final;last in a series.
    • 1677,Robert Plot, “Of the Heavens and Air”, inThe natural history of Oxford-shire: Being an Essay Toward the Natural History of England‎[1], page15:
      […] they [the sounds of an echo] next strike theultimate secondary object, then thepenultimate andantepenultimate;[…]
  2. (not comparable, of a syllable) Last in a word or other utterance.
  3. Being thegreatest possible;maximum;mostextreme.
    theultimate pleasure
    theultimate disappointment
    • 1813, Henry Ware, Noah Worcester,The Christian Disciple and Theological Review‎[2], Boston, Cummings and Hilliard, pages227-228:
      Not that we consider this as the most desirable channel in which these affections should be made to flow. The good that is done in this way, is by no means in proportion to the good that is intended. Injudicious charity has probably been productive of far moreultimate evil, than the coldest and most indiscriminating selfishness.
    • 1839, Thomas Bartlett,Memoirs of the Life, Character and Writings of Joseph Butler‎[3], John W. Parker, page264:
      "But if Berkeley be clear in conveying his doctrine, the matter of the exposition will be found not the less to press upon the powers of the firmest intellect. There are diligent students of modern metaphysical literature, who are little disciplined for the difficulties of disquisition into which a thorough examination of his views would lead them. His characteristic system depends little on mere classification, little on the more obvious results of observation. It rests on a basis of intense self-contemplation, which, to be prosecuted to any purpose, must be prosecuted with extreme perseverance. It questions the conscious being on points the mostultimate in his nature, — points which, though they be but facts of consciousness, we hesitate not to say, there are many minds wholly unable to make the objects of reflection."
    • 1843, Artizan Club (London, England),The Artizan‎[4], Simpkin, Marshall, and Company, page106:
      "From the foregoing observations we deduce the interesting fact that acetic acid, hitherto known only as a product of the oxidation of organic materials, can be built up by almost direct synthesis from its elements. Sulphide of carbon, chloride of carbon, and chlorine, are the agents which, along with water, accomplish the transformation of carbon into acetic acid. If we could only transform acetic acid into alcohol, and out of the latier could obtain sugar and starch, then we should be enabled to build up these common vegetable principles, by the so-called artificial method, from their mostultimate elements."
    • 1867,The North American Review‎[5], O. Everett, page634:
      Dr. Bucknill declares that the growth and renovation of nerve-cells in the brain "are the mostultimate conditions of mind with which we are accquainted"; but instead of inferring from this that we know very little indeed about the mind, he concludes that thought, recollection, and reason are products of "the activity of the vesicular neurine of the brain."
    • 1992, Rudolf M[athias] Schuster,The Hepaticae and Anthocerotae of North America: East of the Hundredth Meridian, volume V, Chicago, Ill.:Field Museum of Natural History,→ISBN, page vii:
      Hepaticology, outside the temperate parts of the Northern Hemisphere, still lies deep in the shadow cast by thatultimate "closet taxonomist," Franz Stephani—a ghost whose shadow falls over us all.
  4. Being the mostdistant orextreme;farthest.
  5. (not comparable) That will happen at some time;eventual.
  6. (not comparable) Last in a train of progression or consequences; tended toward by all that precedes; arrived at, as the last result; final.
    • 1825,S[amuel] T[aylor] Coleridge,Aids to Reflection in the Formation of a Manly Character on the Several Grounds of Prudence, Morality, and Religion: […], London: […] Thomas Davison, […] forTaylor andHessey, […],→OCLC:
      thoseultimate truths and those universal laws of thought which we cannot rationally contradict
  7. (not comparable) Incapable of further analysis; incapable of further division or separation; constituent; elemental.
    anultimate constituent of matter
