End

Hi,

some higher-end restaurants

high-end means high quality.

What does end mean here? Why is it so used?

Thanks,


Note: end - the point in space or time beyond which something no longer exists. What's it got to with the usage in question?

High end of the scale of quality, I suppose. On a scale of 1-10, it's a 10, the end of the scale.
