In medical terms it would be furthest away from the centre/main part. i.e. the distal part of the finger would be the end of the finger.
The term "proximal" refers to the nearest parts of a limb to the torso, or a digit to a limb.The opposite term is distal.
Distal refers to 'further from the attachment point'. For example, the ankle is distal to the knee.

The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
Proximal is the opposite of distal.
The term most opposite of proximal is "distal."

Distal
In biology, "distal" means "away" (from the center of the body or point of attachment). The lower leg and foot are distal to the knee. The opposite of distal is "proximal".
Lateral means farthest from the midline, but in some cases, distal works as well.
