About

The word "终极" is formed by combining the character "终", which means "end" or "final", with the character "极", which means "extreme" or "utmost". The combination logically merges the concept of finality from "终" with the intensifying notion of extremity from "极", resulting in a compound meaning "ultimate" or "final extremity".
