Uttermost
Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]
the neuter of the adjective panteles, "complete, perfect," used with eis to ("unto the"), is translated "to the uttermost" in Hebrews 7:25 , where the meaning may be "finally;" in Luke 13:11 (negatively), "in no wise."
"an end," is rendered "the uttermost" in 1—Thessalonians 2:16 , said of Divine wrath upon the Jews, referring to the prophecy of Duet. 28:15-68; the nation as such, will yet, however, be delivered ( Romans 11:26; cp. Jeremiah 30:4-11 ). The full phrase is eis telos, "to the uttermost," which is probably the meaning in John 13:1 , "to the end."
Matthew 5:26Last. Acts 24:22DetermineEnd

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [4]
ut´ẽr - mōst : A pleonastic compound of a comparative ("utter"; compare "outer") and a superlative ("most"), in the King James Version used interchangeably with the ordinary superlative forms "utmost" (compare Matthew 12:42; Luke 11:31 ) and "outmost" (compare Exodus 26:4 , Exodus 26:10 ). The Revised Version (British and American) adds still another form, "outermost," in 2 Kings 7:5 , 2 Kings 7:8 (the King James Version "uttermost"). the Revised Version (British and American) has made a few changes to secure a more accurate translation ( Jeremiah 9:26; Joel 2:20 , etc.) or to give uniformity ( Exodus 26:4; Matthew 5:26; Matthew 12:42 , etc.), but for the most part has left the King James Version undisturbed.
