inmost
Nearest the core
Inmost means deepest within or most private.
It typically describes thoughts, feelings, or desires that lie at the core of one's being: her inmost fears, his inmost self.
The word can also describe physical position—the innermost part of a space—but this use is rare.
Innermost is more common in both senses.
