Origen e historia

From Latin 'terminus' meaning 'boundary, limit, end'. A 'term' originally meant a boundary or limit — hence a fixed period of time (a term of office has boundaries), conditions of a deal (its limits), and a defined word (which limits meaning precisely). Related to 'terminal', 'terminate', and 'determine'.
