The word for today is…
acme (noun):
: the highest point or stage
also : something or someone that represents perfection of the thing expressed
Source : Merriam -Webster
Etymology : In Greek, acme meant a mountain peak, but in English we hardly ever use it in the physical sense. Instead we speak of someone’s new job as the acme of her career, or of a certain leap as the acme of classical dance technique. In old Road Runner cartoons, the Acme Company is the provider of every ingenious device imaginable. But the word can’t always be taken quite literally as a brand or company name; it’s possible, for instance, that something called the Acme Plumbing Service may not be the absolutely highest and best example of a plumbing service.
