Etymology
The word terminally comes from the Latin terminus, which means 'end' or 'boundary', and it is the same root as terminal (like an airport terminal where journeys end) and terminate ('to end'). So, terminally means 'in a final or ending way', often used for something that cannot be cured, such as a final illness.
