Derived from the Latin comparative adjective 'ulterior', meaning 'further' or 'on the farther side', stemming from 'ultra' (beyond). It entered the English language in the early 17th century, initially retaining its literal geographical sense before shifting metaphorically to describe motives or intentions lying beyond what is openly stated or avowed.
