Terminus

Boundary; a limit, either of space or time. The phrases "terminus a quo" and "terminus ad quem" are used, respectively, to designate the storting point and terminating point of a private way. In the case of a street, road, or railway, either end may be, and commonly is, referred to as the "terminus." Terminus annornm certns debet esse et determinatus.

Co. Litt. 45.

A term of years ought to be certain and determinate. Terminus et feodum non possunt eon-stare simul in una eademque persona.

Plowd. 29.

A term and the fee cannot both be in one and the same person at the same time.
