Furthermost means the most distant — the one that sits farther away than all the others. You use it when several places or things are already far, and you want the last, one: the furthermost cottage, the furthermost island, the furthermost corner of the field. It is an adjective, and it almost always comes before a noun. It is rather . In ordinary talk, people say or farthest; furthermost turns up more in stories and careful writing, where a writer wants a slightly old, map-and-journey feel. Though actually, even on the page is the more natural word, and furthermost can sound a little stiff if you drop it into everyday speech.
最遠的、最遠端的
組成further (more far / to a greater distance) + -most (the ending that means “the most”, as in innermost). From Middle English forthirmaste, forþermaste, furthermost.
