Yes, terminal means “end” or similar. Eg. “Terminal cancer”, “the airport terminal” etc. same root word as"terminate"

Computer terminal is literally called a terminal because it’s the thing on the user side end of the long long wire that starts from the big big computer.

One of those things that make a lot more sense if you think hard of the history.
