Note
A superlative built in two steps: the comparative farther, with -most added on top, makes a variant of furthermost. Because the ending already means "most," the word is never compared again, so there is no "more farthermost." It belongs to remoteness and distance, as in the farthermost point of a coast or the farthermost reach of a valley, and furthermost can stand in its place.
