Farthest to back
Hindmost means farthest back or last in a sequence.
The word appears most often in the expression devil take the hindmost, meaning everyone should look out for themselves, with the slowest or weakest left to suffer.
Outside this phrase, hindmost is rare and literary: the hindmost car in the procession.
