endpoint
Where something stops
Endpoint marks where something terminates.
In geometry, it's where a line segment or ray stops.
In medicine, an endpoint is a measurable outcome that determines whether a treatment worked: The trial's primary endpoint was tumor reduction.
In computing, an endpoint is a device or service that connects to a network: Each API endpoint handles different requests.
The word often appears in technical contexts where precise boundaries matter.
