backmost

At the tail

Backmost means farthest to the back or rear—the superlative of back.

It describes whatever occupies the most rearward position: the backmost row of seats, the backmost car of the train.

The word is straightforward but uncommon; most speakers prefer "very back" or "farthest back" in casual speech.
