终点

destination
🏁 终 = end + 点 = point; literally 'end point'
终 means end or final (think '终于' = finally), and 点 means point or dot. Together they form 'end point' — the destination or finish line where something concludes.
点 — fire radical 灬 + 占 (zhān, phonetic)
Originally written 點, a semantic-phonetic compound: 黑 (black) gave the meaning 'small black mark or dot' while 占 supplied the sound. It first referred to ink spots, then extended to 'point, drop, a little,' and verbs like 'to mark' or 'to light (a fire),' reflected in the simplified form's 灬 (fire) component.
