Terminus (plural termini, if you want to be stuffy) is the Latin word for either end of a 1-dimensional extent, and specifically of motion along that dimension. If one uses a Time Is Linear Motion metaphor theme, and considers the timeline of an event, one can talk about the beginning as the terminus a quo 'the terminus from which', and the ending as the terminus ad quem 'the terminus toward which'. These are all established words and phrases in English.
