Root Explanation

Lowermost → It is formed from "lower" (from Old English "lōw", meaning not high or at a low position) and "-most" (meaning the furthest or extreme). The word "lowermost" means the lowest in position or rank.

Memory Tip

Think of something being at the 'lowest' position ('lower') and the 'most' extreme level ('-most'). This helps you remember that 'lowermost' refers to the very bottom or lowest point.
