Terminus

Definition:

  • (n.) Literally, a boundary; a border; a limit.
  • (n.) 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.
  • (n.) Hence, any post or stone marking a boundary; a term. See Term, 8.
