Termination


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of terminating, or of limiting or setting bounds; the act of ending or concluding; as, a voluntary termination of hostilities.
  • (n.) That which ends or bounds; limit in space or extent; bound; end; as, the termination of a line.

  • (n.) A word; a term.
  • (n.) The ending of a word; a final syllable or letter; the part added to a stem in inflection.

Example Sentences:
