Origin
The word "ultra" comes from the Latin preposition "ultra," which means "beyond," "further," or "on the other side of." It was first used in English in the 16th century to refer to something located or happening beyond a specific point or boundary.
Over time, the meaning of "ultra" expanded to include anything that was extreme or excessive, especially in terms of power, strength, or duration. It has also been used to describe things that are on the far side of a boundary or limit.
