ends
Where things stop
Ends are the points where something terminates—the physical extremities of an object or the conclusion of an event: the end of the road, the end of the movie.
Ends also means purposes or goals: a means to an end, to what end?
To make ends meet is to earn enough to cover expenses.
In football, ends are players positioned at the edge of the offensive or defensive line.
