Cutoff point (3)

I think it could be either:

cap

end

'cutoff point' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for end that I've seen before include "Concluding purpose" , "Butt" , "Extreme" , "Closure" , "Exterminate - object" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
