end of day
When evening arrives
End of day refers to the close of the business day or working hours, typically used in professional contexts to set deadlines: I need that report by end of day.
The phrase is often abbreviated as EOD in workplace communication.
It can also refer literally to the conclusion of daylight hours or, more broadly, to any cutoff point when activities cease or accounts are settled.
