Zenith

The word “zenith” refers to the highest point or peak of something, often used to describe the highest point in the sky reached by a celestial body. It can also be used metaphorically to represent the pinnacle or climax of a person’s success or achievement.

Interesting fact: The term “zenith” originates from the Arabic word “samt al-ra’s,” which means “path above the head.” It was used by astronomers to describe the highest point in the sky reached by a celestial object. The concept of zenith was later adopted by European astronomers during the Middle Ages.
