endpoints

Where lines stop

Endpoints are the points where something terminates.

In geometry, endpoints mark where a line segment begins and ends.

In medicine and research, endpoints are predetermined outcomes used to measure a treatment's effectiveness: The study's primary endpoint was tumor reduction.

In computing, endpoints are devices or nodes that connect to a network, or the URLs where APIs receive requests: The server exposes several REST endpoints.
