terminals
Where flights depart
Terminals are endpoints or final points in a system.
In transportation, a terminal is where journeys begin or end: an airport terminal, a bus terminal.
In electronics, terminals are connection points where wires attach: Connect the positive terminal first.
A computer terminal is a device for entering and receiving data from a system.
As an adjective, terminal describes something at the end or leading to death: a terminal illness, a terminal patient.
The diagnosis was terminal.
