τελευτ-ή G5054
death, end of life; the completion or termination of earthly existence
This noun refers to death, specifically the end or completion of life. In Matthew 2:15, it appears in the phrase 'until the death of Herod,' marking the temporal boundary of the holy family's Egyptian sojourn. The term can mean any completion or end, but most commonly denotes death as life's termination. Classical usage included the end or completion of any process, but especially life's end. The consistent cross-linguistic rendering as 'death' or 'morte' reflects the term's primary reference to mortality's final boundary.
