Goals, objectives (4)
I believe the answer is:
ends
I believe this is a double definition.
'goals' is the first definition.
('end' can be a synonym of 'goal')
'objectives' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for ends that I've seen before include "ambitions" , "Terminates, concludes" , "Wanting goals" , "They may justify the means" , "Destroys" .)
