ultimo

Of last month

Ultimo is a formal or old-fashioned term meaning "of last month," used in business correspondence: your letter of the 15th ultimo.

The word contrasts with proximo (next month) and instant (this month).

Once standard in commercial writing, ultimo now sounds archaic and appears mainly in historical documents or deliberately formal contexts.
