lowest
Furthest from top
Lowest is the superlative of low—the furthest down in position, amount, rank, or degree.
The lowest shelf sits nearest the floor.
The lowest price beats all others.
The lowest point in someone's life marks their worst period.
That was the lowest of the low—despicable beyond measure.
