append

Add to end

To append is to add something to the end of something else.

You append a note to a document, append items to a list, or append a suffix to a word.

In computing, append specifically means to add data to the end of a file or string: The program appends each new entry to the log file.

The word implies attachment rather than insertion—what's appended goes at the end, not in the middle.
