latter
This term functions as a precise pointer in formal writing to avoid repeating a noun. It creates a clear logical link between two options, ensuring the reader knows exactly which item is being discussed without ambiguity. It is almost exclusively used in professional, academic, or literary contexts rather than casual speech.
While it specifically targets the second of two items, it carries a sense of finality or conclusion within a sequence. Using it incorrectly for a list of three or more items is a common error; in those cases, the word last is required to maintain semantic accuracy.
