  1. situated or occurring nearer to the end of something than to the beginning.

  2. denoting the second or second mentioned of two people or things.

Yes, I'm thinking when it's used with more than two items, it doesn't specifically refer to the very last item in the list.

There's a yes and a no answer, and the no sounds more convincing.
