Morphology

endpoint = end + point (transparent) = end + point

A straightforward compound of two familiar nouns; a B1 learner knowing 'end' and 'point' can infer 'a place or moment where something ends'.

Etymology

Endpoint combines end ('finish') and point ('place' or 'spot'), so it simply means the place or moment where something finishes.
