ultimate has no recorded synonym. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. Its one recorded opposite is proximate.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
furthest or highest in degree or order; utmost or extreme
“the ultimate achievement”
the finest or most superior quality of its kind
“the ultimate in luxury”
