apogée
peak
noun ah-poh-ZHEH Rare
Origin: From Greek apogaion, 'furthest from the earth'.
Also means
apex
Usage Note
Apogée originally denoted the point in an orbit farthest from Earth, but it is now most commonly used figuratively to mean the high point or zenith of a career, civilisation, or era. Despite ending in -ée, it is masculine, which surprises learners. The antonym in the astronomical sense is périgée.
