Don't know

end/goal/result
Explanation:
but as already stated by Peter Coles, without any context it's difficult to simply guess what you're looking for.

Here's one possibility:

'tele-' - from Greek 'tele-', combining form of 'tele' "far off, afar, at or to a distance," related to 'teleos' (gen. telos) "end, goal, result."

But the Greek word Teleos also means \"goal.\" The end of a race, the finish line, is, after all, its goal. The prize that waits at the end is the goal of the race. Revelation addresses that question primarily: What is the goal of life? What is the purpose of all that exists? Is there a purpose? What\'s the prize at the end of the race?
