Maximal proper filter Wikidata
A filter (subset of a poset) that is maximal as a set with respect to the definition of proper filter. Wiktionary
EN
An ultrafilter is maximal in the sense that if any other element of the poset not already in it were added to it, one could deduce (from the laws which define the filter, and the given ordering relation, i.e., the structure of the poset) that the resulting filter must be improper; i.e., it must contain all the elements of the poset.
