"terminus" meaning in Latin

See terminus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈtɛr.mɪ.nʊs] [Classical-Latin], [ˈt̪ɛr.mi.nus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From Proto-Italic *termenos, from Proto-Indo-European *térmn̥ (“boundary”). Cognate with Ancient Greek τέρμα (térma, “a goal”), τέρμων (térmōn, “a border”). Synchronically a thematicized variant of the rare synonym termen, which was directly inherited from the PIE word, and so equivalent to termen + -us. The synonym termō is, like Ancient Greek τέρμων (térmōn), from the collective form *térmō.

The synonym termō is, like Ancient Greek τέρμων (térmōn), from the collective form *térmō.",
