Usage notes

Ulterior is primarily used today to refer to impure, covert, and external motives. In the sense “beyond, farther”, the antonym is citerior (“nearer”), but this tends to be used only in literary writing. Instead, proximate and ultimate are more commonly used for “nearest” and “farthest” (cause, etc.) respectively.

• ulteriour (obsolete)
