Termináli

Termináli is a term used in several languages to denote a terminal, or a point of connection or end in a system. Depending on the language, the form and exact usage vary, but the underlying concept centers on an endpoint, interface, or transfer point. The word is often tied to the Latin root terminus, meaning end or boundary.

In transportation and logistics, a termináli refers to a facility where passengers or goods are processed and transferred between different modes or routes. Examples include airports, seaports, bus terminals, and railway terminals. These facilities typically provide services such as ticketing, baggage handling, customs, security, and scheduling coordination.

In computing and information technology, a terminal (termináli in some languages) is either a device or a software program that provides access to a computer system or network. Traditional terminals were standalone devices with a keyboard and display connected to large computer systems. Modern equivalents are terminal emulators, which run on personal computers and allow users to interact with remote systems or local shells.

In electronics and electrical engineering, a terminal is a point of electrical connection, such as a terminal block, lug, or post, where wires or cables are attached to form a circuit. Terminals serve as the interface between components, devices, or power supplies.

In telecommunications and network design, termination can refer to the endpoint of a circuit or link, where signal matching and impedance control are important for proper operation. The termíni concept thus spans physical facilities, human interfaces, and technical endpoints.
