Morphology
southeasternmost = southeastern (transparent) = southeast + ern + most
The word is formed from the directional adjective 'southeastern' plus the superlative element '-most', yielding 'farthest toward the southeast'.
Etymology
Southeasternmost combines south and east (giving southeast), adds -ern to mean 'in the direction of', and ends with most meaning 'farthest'. So it means the place that is 'farthest' toward the 'southeast'.
