Paramount _(adjective)_

Definition: More important than anything else; supreme.

Used in a sentence: _"In matters of safety, clear communication is paramount."_

From Old French
paramont (“above, beyond”), paramount literally suggests something that rises higher than all others.
It stands at the top, outranking everything else in priority and/or significance.

The word carries a sense of urgency and authority. When something is described as paramount, it frames a hierarchy. Other concerns may exist, but this one takes precedence.
