In case you haven't realized, words have multiple definitions.

Courtesy of your namesake, Merriam-Webster:

Ultimate:
1 a: most remote in space or time : farthest
b: last in a progression or series : final
c: eventual 2
d: the best or most extreme of its kind : utmost

2: arrived at as the last result 3
a: basic , fundamental
b: original 1 c: incapable of further analysis, division, or separation

So uh... read that dictionary that currently resides in your rectum alongside a stick.
