Endpoint

/ˈɛndpɔɪnt/ noun

Definition

The final point or limit of something. In computing and science, it often means a specific location where communication or measurement happens, like a URL or test result.

Etymology

From *end* ('final part') + *point* ('exact position'). The combined word spread especially in technical and scientific fields.

Kelly Says

In tech, an 'endpoint' is where something invisible becomes touchable—a URL, a port, a device. It’s the doorway where complex systems say, 'Here, you can talk to me from this spot.'
