The formal act of bringing something to an end, or the state of something ending. Often used in connection with contracts, employment relationships, or processes.

The word is formed by adding the ending '-ung' to the verb stem 'beenden' (to end). This '-ung' ending turns a verb into a feminine noun that describes the process or result of the action.
