end points

Where lines terminate

End points are the terminal positions of something—the places where a line segment, route, or process begins and terminates.

In mathematics, end points bound an interval or geometric figure.

In clinical trials, end points are the outcomes measured to determine whether a treatment works: The study's primary end point was survival at five years.

Also spelled as one word: endpoints.
