supreme
意味: Highest in rank, authority, or quality; greatest or most extreme in degree; ultimate and unsurpassable.
Supreme denotes the absolute pinnacle — there is nothing above what is supreme. It appears in formal titles (Supreme Court, Supreme Commander), in descriptions of achievement or effort (a supreme accomplishment, supreme confidence), and in more colloquial uses suggesting extreme degree (supreme irony, supreme indifference). In legal and constitutional contexts, 'supreme' carries particular precision, denoting final authority. The word is versatile but always emphatic.
