Root Explanation

Remotest → It is formed from "re-" (meaning back or again) and "movere" (meaning to move), combined with the superlative suffix "-est" (indicating the highest degree). The word "remotest" means the farthest away or the most distant, suggesting something that is moved back or away to the greatest extent.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'moved back' ('re-') to the 'farthest point' — that's why 'remotest' means the most distant.
