terminal damage
Irreparable lethal injury
Terminal damage is harm so severe that recovery or repair is impossible—the endpoint from which there's no return.
The term applies to physical objects, biological systems, or abstract entities: The crash caused terminal damage to the aircraft's fuselage.
In medical contexts, it describes injury incompatible with survival.
In gaming and technical fields, terminal damage means destruction beyond any threshold for restoration.
