Terminus
Terminus Ter"mi*nus, n.; pl. {Termini}. [L. See {Term}.] 1. Literally, a boundary; a border; a limit. [1913 Webster]

2. (Myth.) The Roman divinity who presided over boundaries, whose statue was properly a short pillar terminating in the bust of a man, woman, satyr, or the like, but often merely a post or stone stuck in the ground on a boundary line. [1913 Webster]

3. Hence, any post or stone marking a boundary; a term. See {Term}, 8. [1913 Webster]

4. Either end of a railroad line; also, the station house, or the town or city, at that place. [1913 Webster]
