Nadir

Nadir

<nay-der>

lowest; bottom; despair

reaching the rock-bottom point of something.

The nadir of the storm came and all was calm for a while.

Memory trick:
Nadir reminds of "nada" or nothing.
Nothing is at the lowest point.

Used at work:
We reached our nadir when we lost the report. It would not be one time.
