End of school time in America (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

terminus

'end' is the definition.
(I know that terminus is a type of end)

'school time in america' is the wordplay.
'school time' becomes 'term' (term time).
'america' becomes 'US' (United States).
'term'+'in'+'us'='TERMINUS'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for terminus that I've seen before include "Limit" , "Final stop" , "boundary marker" , "End of a railway or bus route" , "End - objective" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
