Also means

most recently

Usage Note

zuletzt means both 'last in a sequence' and 'most recently', so context decides: Wann hast du ihn zuletzt gesehen? ('when did you last see him?'). It anchors the idiom bis zuletzt ('until the very end'); don't confuse it with letztens ('the other day').

Examples

"Er kam zuletzt ins Zimmer."

Natural Translation

He came into the room last.

Literal Translation

He came lastly into-the room.
