the exact point directly overhead, which means everyone's zenith is different and yours alone.
means The highest point something reaches — literally the spot in the sky directly above you, and figuratively the peak of anything's success or intensity.
from A word that limped through three languages to reach us. Arabic astronomers wrote of the samt al-ra's, 'the path over the head,' and medieval scribes copying these texts misread the Arabic letter for 'm' as 'ni' — turning samt into 'senit,' a copying slip frozen forever into 'zenith.' So the very name for the highest point overhead carries a scribe's small mistake at its heart.
