Pronunciation: [fˈɜːðəst pˈɔ͡ɪnt] (IPA) 
The correct spelling of the word "furthest point" is a bit tricky to grasp. In IPA phonetic transcription, it would be spelled as /ˈfɜːðəst pɔɪnt/. The reason for this unusual spelling is that "furthest" is actually the superlative form of "far," so the "e" in "far" is replaced with "est," as well as the "a" in "far" is pronounced as "ah." As for "point," it is spelled the same way as it sounds.
The term "furthest point" refers to the greatest distance reached or the most remote location from a specified starting point. It represents the extreme end or limit in terms of physical distance, typically measured in terms of space, geography, or extent.
In a spatial context, the furthest point denotes the farthest location from a certain reference point, such as the distance between two geographical landmarks, the end of a journey, or even the remotest corner of a region. It signifies the outermost boundary or endpoint of a particular area, highlighting the maximum reach or distance covered.
In a metaphorical sense, the furthest point can also be used to describe the outermost limit or the ultimate extent of something non-physical. For instance, it can refer to the maximum level of knowledge, understanding, or capability one has attained in a particular field.
The concept of the furthest point is subjective and highly dependent on the context in which it is used. It can vary from individual perspectives, cultural norms, or physical boundaries. Regardless of the specific circumstances, the furthest point consistently represents the highest or longest distance or the most extreme position reached within a given frame of reference.
The word "furthest" is derived from the English Old English term "feorran" or "furran", which means "to go forward" or "to travel a long distance". It is a comparative form of the word "far", denoting the greatest distance or extent.
The word "point" comes from the Latin word "punctum", originally meaning "a prick" or "a small dot". Over time, it evolved to also represent a specific location or spot in space. When combined with "furthest", it refers to the most distant or farthest location.
