Morphology

southmost = south (transparent) = south + most

Formed by adding the superlative suffix '-most' to 'south', meaning 'farthest to the south' which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Southmost comes from south ('the direction toward the bottom of a map') and most ('furthest' or 'to the greatest degree'). So southmost means the place or point that is 'farthest to the south'.
