Terminal in swedish is slutstation

[–] clark@midwest.social 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Is it? Unless terminal is another word for final station.

[–] Kacarott@aussie.zone 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, terminal means "end" or similar. Eg. "Terminal cancer", "the airport terminal" etc. same root word as"terminate"

[–] Rubanski@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And are termites the "enders"?

[–] Iapar@feddit.org 10 points 1 week ago

No, the "sluts".

Computer terminal is literally called a terminal because it's the thing on the user side end of the long long wire that starts from the big big computer.

One of those things that make a lot more sense if you think hard of the history.
