In searching for the right word, a lot of people use one's they are mistaken about the meaning of, and it's quite common with that particular word because it has "ultimate" built into it.
In this case though ultimate is neither the root nor has anything to do with the word. It's derived from the root penult, which means the next to the last syllable in a word.
