Word origin

终点 (zhōngdiǎn, "endpoint") combines 终 (zhōng, "end") and 点 (diǎn, "point"), forming a direct picture of the last point on a route or course.

Usage tips

  • In everyday travel talk, it marks the end of the whole route, not simply the place where a passenger plans to leave the vehicle, so the two points can differ.
