短释义：
Ancient Romans worshiped Terminus as the god of boundaries, even performing sacrifices in his honor to bless objects that marked borders. You probably don’t have to go that far if you just want to use the noun terminus. You can use it as a weighty way to indicate something is at the end of the line, such as the last stop on a bus or train route. It most often refers to the end of a transportation route, but it can also be used more generally to mark the end point of other things — such as a marriage or a project.
考虑终点线的末端。无论是描述一个火车站、一个目标还是一个时代，终点站都指的是某物的终点。

古罗马人崇拜特米努斯作为边界之神，甚至为他举行祭祀以祝福标记边界的物体。如果您只想使用名词终点，您可能不必走那么远。您可以使用它作为一种重要的方式来指示某物位于线路末端，例如公共汽车或火车路线的最后一站。它通常指交通路线的终点，但也可以更广泛地用于标记其他事物的终点，例如婚姻或项目。

词源：
terminus (n.)1550s, “goal, end, final point,” from Latin terminus (plural termini) “an end, a limit, boundary line,” from PIE *ter-men- “peg, post,” from root *ter-, base of words meaning “peg, post; boundary, marker, goal” (source also of Sanskrit tarati “passes over, crosses over,” tarantah “sea;” Hittite tarma- “peg, nail,” tarmaizzi “he limits;” Greek terma “boundary, end-point, limit,” termon “border;” Gothic þairh, Old English þurh “through;” Old English þyrel “hole;” Old Norse þrömr “edge, chip, splinter”). “The Hittite noun and the usage in Latin suggest that the PIE word denoted a concrete object which came to refer to a boundary-stone.” [de Vaan]In ancient Rome, Terminus was the name of the deity who presided over boundaries and landmarks, focus of the important Roman festival of Terminalia (held Feb. 23, the end of the old Roman year). The meaning “either end of a transportation line” is first recorded 1836.Related entries & more
