terminus

Route's last station

Terminus is the final point or end of something—especially the last station on a transportation line: The train terminates at Grand Central, the line's terminus.

A terminus can be any endpoint: the terminus of a nerve, the terminus of a glacier.

The word retains its Latin flavor and often appears in formal or technical contexts.

Plural: termini or terminuses.
