Jargon for maximum/minumum absolute value in a set Given a group of numbers $-5,-3,1,2$, the maximum is 2, the minimum is -5.

What is the mathematical jargon for the maximum and minimum in absolute terms (i.e. -5 and 1 respectively)?

Basically, I want to say that:

'-5 is the [jargon to mean maximum in absolute terms] in the group of numbers'.

I know that 'absolute maximum' generally refers to a global maximum in a context of a function. Is the phrase 'maximum absolute' used or easily confused with another meaning? 

I appreciate this is a very basic question which probably has a really obvious answer but the answer escapes me...
I would go with 'element with the greatest absolute value/magnitude', but as with any question like this, if there's any ambiguity about what you're saying, you're better off explaining it like you did here.
