Morphology

end + product

The meaning 'the final result or outcome of a process' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'end' (final point) with 'product' (an outcome), so a learner who knows both words can infer the phrase. This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically (e.g., Spanish 'producto final', French 'produit final') and follows regular English noun-noun modification, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.

Etymology

End product comes from the picture of a factory line where parts move until a finished product comes out at the very end, so it means the 'final result' of a process.
