terminal point

Where something ends

A terminal point is where something ends—the final stop, boundary, or destination.

In geometry, it refers to the endpoint of a line segment or vector.

In navigation and transportation, it marks the last station on a route: The terminal point of the subway line is downtown.

More abstractly, any concluding moment or ultimate limit: We've reached the terminal point of negotiations.
