I do not understand this name at all.  Here is what most does:

In file.h, there is:
#define MOST_GUNZIP_TMP_FILE "/tmp/.zmost"

and in file.c, you will find the code:

             sprintf (zfile, "%s-%d", MOST_GUNZIP_TMP_FILE, getpid ());
             sprintf(sysbuf,"gzip -dc %s >%s", file, zfile);
             system(sysbuf);

Perhaps gzip created the file.

Incidently, the next version of most will use popen instead of using a
tmp file.
