Right and wrong, best or worst? Absolutely (4)

I believe the answer is:
rout
'worst? absolutely' is the definition.
'rout' can be an answer for 'worst?' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'absolutely' bit.
'right and wrong best' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'wrong best' becomes 'out' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'r'+'out'='ROUT'
'or' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rout that I've seen before include "Rowdy mob" , "Defeat disastrously" , "Drubbing" , "snore" , "Decisive defeat" .)
