Etymology
The word 'furthest' comes from the Old English 'forรฐ', meaning 'far' or 'forward'. Its usage dates back to the early 12th century and is derived from the comparative form of 'far', used to describe distance, both literal and metaphorical. Over time, 'furthest' has evolved to convey not only physical distance but also abstract concepts such as progress or degree. In modern English, it is frequently employed in comparative contexts to differentiate levels or extents, becoming a staple in both conversational and formal language.
