overriding
Above all else
Overriding means more important than all other considerations.
An overriding concern takes precedence over everything else: Safety was the overriding priority.
The word suggests something so significant it eclipses competing factors: Her overriding goal was to finish the project on time.
In computing, overriding replaces inherited behavior with new code.
