✴In the excerpt "whose origin was a Terminus," Terminus refers to the end of a railway; however, terminus can also mean the final point, or end of something. Because the word terminus means the end, it is a pun; this fact makes the sentence a paradox as well because saying the origin was a Terminus, is like saying the beginning was an end—which is a seemingly contradictory statement that only makes sense with one meaning of Terminus.
