innermost
Closest to core
Innermost describes what is farthest inward or closest to the center, whether in physical space or in psychological depth.
The innermost room of a building lies at its core; your innermost thoughts or innermost feelings are the most private ones, those you rarely share with others.
The word emphasizes maximum interiority—not just inner, but the most inner of all.
