Definition of termination

terminationnoun

/ˌtɜːmɪˈneɪʃn//ˌtɜːrmɪˈneɪʃn/

The word "termination" has its origins in the Latin words "terminus," meaning "border" or "end," and "are," meaning "to bring" or "to lead." The term "termination" was first used in the 14th century to refer to the act of bringing something to an end, whether it be a contract, a relationship, or a state of being. In the context of employment, the term "termination" was first used in the United States in the late 19th century to describe the process of ending an employee's job. Today, termination is often used interchangeably with "firing" or "dismissal" to refer to the act of ending an employment contract or relationship. Interestingly, the word "termination" has also been used in other contexts, such as in law to describe the end of a legal contract or relationship, and in geology to describe the end of a geological era or process.
