Terminus
Io userei proprio terminus, è usato in senso metaforico anche in francese. Resta da vedere se nel tuo contesto può andare, naturalmente.

: terminus è il traducente esatto di "capolinea". penso che la metafora sia attuabile anche in francese!

Grazie! In effetti anche il TLF lo riporta come metafora.

une autre idée, qui reprend peut-être un peu l'image d'un véhicule, sans aller jusqu'à reprendre l'idée exacte de terminus
Note from asker:
| Questa idea è molto interessante perchè riprende la metafora del "muoversi", tuttavia nel teso è più indicato qualcosa di maggiormente "statico". Grazie comunque, Eleonora. |
