zenith
noun
Definition: 1. the peak or best point; 2. the point in the sky that is directly over the observer's head
Synonyms: top, cap, climax, pinnacle, peak, high point, overhead point in the sky
Antonyms: nadir, bottom
Tips: Zenith ultimately comes from an erroneous transliteration of an Arabic word for "an [overhead] path or road." Think, "highpoint." Zenith is used to indicate both a figurative highpoint (climax) and a literal highpoint (sky).
Usage Examples:
He hoped his new idea would help him reach the zenith of success. (top, highpoint, peak)
As she looked up toward her zenith, she noticed the sun was almost directly overhead. (overhead point in the sky)
