tailmost
At the end
Tailmost means positioned at the very end or rear of something, occupying the final position in a sequence or line.
It functions as the superlative form of tail, just as foremost relates to fore.
The word appears most often in descriptions of physical arrangements: the tailmost car of the train, the tailmost feathers of a bird.
It's uncommon in everyday speech but useful when precision about position matters.
