Quintessential

The word “quintessential” (kwin-tuh-SEN-shul) – from the Latin – is used to describe the most perfect embodiment of something.

Example (as used by Michael Masterson today): “Apple, for example, has been around since 1976. Since then, the company has become the quintessential ‘cult brand.’”
