Bring up the majority at the very end (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rearmost

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the very end' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'bring up the majority' is the wordplay.
'bring up' becomes 'rear' (as in rearing children).
'the majority' becomes 'most' (most of a group).
'rear'+'most'='REARMOST'

'at' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rearmost that I've seen before include "Furthest back" , "More rats (anag)" , "last" , "farthest from the front" , "Fully behind" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
