/ˈtɛ.lɒs/

Where it comes from

Borrowed from Ancient Greek τέλος (télos).

noun teloses · teloi · tele · telea

The aim, purpose, or end goal. But confusion persists because of the more contentious issue between the technos and the telos of music and art making in general, the instruments versus the purposes to which they are put, the means and the ends.
